More quotes by Pope Francis
Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
Pope Francis
You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.
Pope Francis
Pay attention, my young friends: to go against the current this is good for the heart, but we need courage to swim against the tide. ... We Christians were not chosen by the Lord for little things push onwards toward the highest principles. Stake your lives on noble ideals, my dear young people!
Pope Francis
Whenever people listen to one another humbly and openly, their shared values and aspirations become all the more apparent. Diversity is no longer seen as a threat, but as a source of enrichment.
Pope Francis
Let us keep the flame of faith alive through prayer and the sacraments: let us make sure we do not forget God.
Pope Francis
Jesus understands our weaknesses and sins and he forgives us if we allow ourselves to be forgiven.
Pope Francis
Joy cannot be held at heel: it must be let go. Joy is a pilgrim virtue. It is a gift that walks, walks on the path of life, that walks with Jesus: preaching, proclaiming Jesus, proclaiming joy, lengthens and widens that path.
Pope Francis
The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life. These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.
Pope Francis
The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops, who have the care of souls, are at the service of the people of God.
Pope Francis
The blood of our Christian brothers is a witness that cries out..If they are Catholic, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it is not important : They are Christians. The blood is the same: It is the blood which confesses Christ.
Pope Francis
Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope Francis
Human trafficking is a scourge, a crime against the whole of humanity. It is time to join forces and work together to free its victims and to eradicate this crime that affects all of us, from individual families to the worldwide community.
Pope Francis
No one must use the name of God to commit violence. To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.
Pope Francis
Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.
Pope Francis
We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.
Pope Francis
I ask everyone with political responsibility to remember two things: human dignity and the common good.
Pope Francis
Work ends up dehumanizing people.
Pope Francis
This is Christian hope, that the future is in God's hands.
Pope Francis
And now I would like to give the blessing, but first - first I ask a favor of you: before the Bishop blesses his people, I ask you to pray to the Lord that he will bless me: the prayer of the people asking the blessing for their Bishop.
Pope Francis
Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears.
Pope Francis
