[Mexican people] have a culture, a culture that goes back millennia.
Pope Francis
Image
Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.
Pope Francis
Image
Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion. Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus on the Cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God's love he conquers it, he defeats it with his resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
God always forgives, always. But he asks that I forgive. If I don't forgive, in a certain sense I am closing the door to God's forgiveness.
Pope Francis

We can observe the Fourth Commandment by loving visits to our aging grandparents
Pope Francis

The cross of Christ, embraced with love, never brings sadness with it, but joy, the joy of being saved and of doing a little of what he did on the day of his death.

Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.
Pope Francis

I made reference continuously to the killings, the death, the life taken by all of these narcotrafficking gangs and human smugglers. I spoke of this problem as one of the wounds that Mexico suffers. It's a great pain that I'm taking, because this nation [Mexicans] doesn't deserve a drama like this one.
Pope Francis

When evangelizers rise from prayer, their hearts are more open freed of self-absorption, they are desirous of doing good and sharing their lives with others.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is the sun and Mary is the dawn announcing his rising.
Pope Francis

The teachings of the Gospel have direct consequences for our way of thinking, feeling and living.
Pope Francis
Image
[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
Image
More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: 'Give them something to eat.'
Pope Francis
Image
There is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders.
Pope Francis
Image
A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.
Pope Francis
Image
If priest is closed to forgiveness, he won't receive it, because he locked the door from the inside. And what remains is to pray for the Lord to open that door. To forgive you must be willing. But not everyone can receive or know how to receive it, or are just not willing to receive it.
Pope Francis
