Pope Francis
Image
Environmental degradation is one of the biggest challenges we have. I think a question that we're not asking ourselves is: 'Isn't humanity committing suicide with this indiscriminate and tyrannical use of nature?'
Pope Francis

In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.

Pope Francis
Image
Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
Pope Francis
Image
The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.
Pope Francis
Image
I already knew about this friendship between St. John Paul II and this philosopher [Ana Teresa Tymieniecka] when I was in Buenos Aires. It was known. Also her books are known.
Pope Francis
Image
The economic part is the one that came out first because there were some problems about which the press spoke a lot.
Pope Francis
Image
Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.
Pope Francis
Image
You can't provoke, you can't insult the faith of others, you can't make fun of faith.
Pope Francis
Image
Humanity needs to see these gestures of peace and to hear words of hope and peace!
Pope Francis
