...when food is shared in a fair way, with solidarity, when no one is deprived, every community can meet the needs of the poorest. Human ecology and environmental ecology walk together.
Pope Francis
Image
How many of us, myself included, have lost our bearings we are no longer attentive to the world in which we live we don’t care we don’t protect what God created for everyone, and we end up unable even to care for one another.
Pope Francis
Image
I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.

A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!
Pope Francis

Nurturing and cherishing creation is a command God gives not only at the beginning of history, but to each of us. It is part of his plan it means causing the world to grow responsibly, transforming it so that it may be a garden, a habitable place for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.

Pope Francis
Image
This is ideological colonization. They colonize people with ideas that try to change mentalities or structures, but this is not new. This was done by the dictatorships of the last century.
Pope Francis
Image
People in every nation enhance the social dimension of their lives by acting as committed and responsible citizens.
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
Breathing is made up of two stages: inhaling, the intake of air, and exhaling, the letting out of air. The spiritual life is fed, nourished, by prayer and is expressed outwardly through mission: inhaling and exhaling. When we inhale, by prayer, we receive the fresh air of the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
Every time we give in to selfishness and say “No” to God, we spoil his loving plan for us.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission.
