More quotes by Pope Francis
If we are to know the Lord, we must go to Him. Listen to Him in silence before the Tabernacle and approach Him in the Sacraments.
Pope Francis
Imagine, to become a priest there are eight years of study and preparation, and then if after a while you can't do it, you can ask for a dispensation, you leave, and everything is OK.
Pope Francis
A great challenge: stop ruining the garden which God has entrusted to us so that all may enjoy it.
Pope Francis
Needing to talk badly about others indicates low self esteem. That means, 'I feel so low that instead of picking myself up, I have to cut others down.' Letting go of negative things quickly is healthy.
Pope Francis
When you meet the needy your heart grows bigger
Pope Francis
Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.
Pope Francis
The political struggle against marriage equality is war
Pope Francis
I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.
Pope Francis
Every Christian can witness to God in the workplace, not only with words, but above all with an honest life.
Pope Francis
Mary’s life shows that God accomplishes great deeds through those who are the most humble.
Pope Francis
Let us pray for peace: peace in the world and in each of our hearts.
Pope Francis
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
Jesus is the sun and Mary is the dawn announcing his rising.
Pope Francis
To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.
Pope Francis
Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth.
Pope Francis
I tell priests to flee from clericalism because clericalism distances people. May they flee from clericalism and I add: it's a plague in the Church.
Pope Francis
There are some things we really need to take care of: the children, and grandparents. Children, whether they are young or older, they are the strength that moves us forward. We place our hope in them.Grandparents are the living memory of the family. They passed on the faith, they transmitted the faith, to us.
Pope Francis
May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!
Pope Francis
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
May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.
Pope Francis
