More quotes by Pope Francis
Every people deserves to conserve its identity without being ideologically colonised.
Pope Francis
We must not believe the Evil One when he tells us that there is nothing we can do in the face of violence, injustice and sin.
Pope Francis
There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis
I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
Every time we judge our brother in our hearts or worse when we speak badly of them with others, we are murdering Christians.
Pope Francis
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope Francis
Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.
Pope Francis
It occurs to me: why is it mainly women, who to pass on the faith? Simply because the one who brought us Jesus is a woman. It is the path chosen by Jesus. He wanted to have a mother: the gift of faith comes to us through women, as Jesus came to us through Mary.
Pope Francis
The imposition of anomalous models and lifestyles are alien to people's identity and, in the end, are irresponsible.
Pope Francis
When I had to say something that I didn't like to Turkey, but of which I was sure, I said it, with the consequences that you all know [Editor's note: a reference to his comments on the Armenian Genocide]. I said these words ... I was sure
Pope Francis
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
Pope Francis
A society which abandons children and the elderly severs its roots and darkens its future.
Pope Francis
[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.
Pope Francis
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
There is no such thing as low-cost Christianity. Following Jesus means swimming against the tide, renouncing evil and selfishness
Pope Francis
While all too many people live in dire poverty, others are caught up in materialism and lifestyles which are destructive of family life and the most basic demands of Christian morality.
Pope Francis
The proclamation of Jesus is not a veneer: the proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and change us. And the spirit of the world does not tolerate it, will not tolerate it, and therefore, there is persecution.
Pope Francis
You can't have Christ without the Church.
Pope Francis
May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.
Pope Francis
I asked [Guadalupe] for the world, for peace, so many things. I asked forgiveness, I asked that the Church grows healthy, I asked for the Mexican people. And another thing I asked a lot for: that priests be true priests, and sisters true sisters, and bishops true bishops. As the Lord wants.
Pope Francis
