How many young people, how many young people of our Europe, whom we have left empty of ideals, who do not have work... they take drugs, alcohol, or go there to enlist in fundamentalist groups.
Pope Francis
Image
To be saints is not a privilege for a few, but a vocation for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
Christ comes among us at Christmas: it is the perfect time for a personal encounter with the Lord.
Pope Francis
Image
Dearest brothers and sisters who are so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are stripped of everything. I am with you in the faith of the one who has conquered evil!
Pope Francis
Image
I had a long conversation with the imam, the Grand Imam of the Al-Azhar University, and I know how they think... They seek peace, encounter.
Pope Francis
Image
I like to say that women are those who form life in their wombs - and this is a comparison I make - they have this charism of giving you things you can build with.
Pope Francis
Image
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.

Money is needed to bring about many good things but when your heart is attached, it destroys you
Pope Francis
Image
This is God's way, the way of humility. It is the way of Jesus there is no other. And there can be no humility without humiliation.
Pope Francis
Image
Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?
Pope Francis
Image
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Many of you have asked the Lord, looking at Him: Why, Lord? And the Lord answers to each one of you, to your heart, Christ responds with His heart. It's the only thing I can tell you. Let us look to Christ, He is the Lord and He understands us because He underwent all the trials that we go through.
Pope Francis
Image
When a society lacks God, even prosperity is joined by a terrible spiritual poverty.
Pope Francis
Image
If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties we must be humble.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?
Pope Francis
Image
The Church, in her wisdom, maintains the distinction between engaged and married couples -- they are not the same, today's culture and society have become rather indifferent to the delicate and serious nature of this passage.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
Pope Francis
Image
Our Christian identity is belonging to a people: the Church. Without the Church we are not Christians.

Inequality is the root of social evil.

I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.
