Quote

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.

The teachings of the Gospel have direct consequences for our way of thinking, feeling and living.
Pope Francis

It [abortion] is a crime, an absolute evil.
Pope Francis

God does not reveal himself in strength or power, but in the weakness and fragility of a newborn babe.
Pope Francis
Image
A man who does not know how to have a relationship of friendship with a woman - I'm not talking about misogynists, who are sick - well, he's a man who is missing something.

Money is needed to bring about many good things but when your heart is attached, it destroys you
Pope Francis
Image
Without a solution to the problems of the poor, we will not solve the problems of the world. We need projects, mechanisms and processes to implement better distribution of resources, from the creation of new jobs to the integral promotion of those who are excluded'.
Pope Francis

If you don’t learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. When they posed this question to us – why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. Be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.
Pope Francis

I think of the difficulties which, in various countries, today afflicts the world of work and business I think of how many, and not just young people, are unemployed, many times due to a purely economic conception of society, which seeks selfish profit, beyond the parameters of social justice.
Pope Francis
Image
I had the habit of not accepting prizes or honors, but always, not out of humility, but because I don't like them.
Pope Francis

Indifference is dangerous, whether innocent or not.
Pope Francis
Image
When a child has a bad dream and wakes up crying, Dad goes and says, 'Don't be afraid, don't be scared. I'm here.' The Lord speaks this way, too... Usually, Christmas seems like a very noisy feast, but we can use a bit of silence to hear these words of love, closeness and tenderness.
Pope Francis
Image
Human life must always be defended from its beginning in the womb and must be recognised as a gift of God that guarantees the future of humanity.
Pope Francis
Image
It's important if you can do good with power. And Jesus defined power, true power is to serve, to do service, to do the most humble services, and I must still make progress on this path of service because I feel that I don't do everything I should do. That's the sense I have of power.
Pope Francis
Image
If priest is closed to forgiveness, he won't receive it, because he locked the door from the inside. And what remains is to pray for the Lord to open that door. To forgive you must be willing. But not everyone can receive or know how to receive it, or are just not willing to receive it.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'
Pope Francis
Image
Human life, the person is no longer perceived as a primary value to be respected and protected, especially if poor or disabled, if not yet useful - such as the unborn child - or no longer needed - such as the elderly.
Pope Francis
Image
The mystery of the Cross, a mystery of love, can only be understood in prayer. Pray and weep, kneeling before the Cross.
Pope Francis
Image
Wherever there are men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, there you find joy.
Pope Francis

Life once conceived, must be protected with the utmost care abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.
