More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.
Pope Francis
Image
There is no worse material poverty, I am keen to stress, than the poverty which prevents people from earning their bread and deprives them of the dignity of work.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us be protectors of all of Gods Creatures
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.
Pope Francis
Image
With God, nothing is lost but without him, everything is lost.
Pope Francis
Image
I entered the diocesan seminary. I liked the Dominicans, and I had Dominican friends. But then I chose the Society of Jesus, which I knew well because the seminary was entrusted to the Jesuits. Three things in particular struck me about the Society: the missionary spirit, community and discipline.
Pope Francis
Image
Reforming the social structures which perpetuate poverty and the exclusion of the poor first requires a conversion of mind and heart.
Pope Francis
Image
We should all remember... that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the poor, the hungry! I encourage everyone to reflect on the problem of thrown away and wasted food to identify ways and means that, by seriously addressing this issue, are a vehicle of solidarity and sharing with the needy.
Pope Francis
Image
No one can grow if he does not accept his smallness.
Pope Francis
Image
Indifference is dangerous, whether innocent or not.
Pope Francis
Image
At stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of God’s law engraved in our hearts.
Pope Francis
Image
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.
Pope Francis
Image
The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.
Pope Francis
Image
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
Image
The Golden Rule reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development. This conviction has led me, from the beginning of my ministry, to advocate at different levels for the global abolition of the death penalty.
Pope Francis
Image
And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that lead to the good of all and are guided by love?
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we 'possess,' but a gift to him and to others.
Pope Francis
Image
I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!
Pope Francis
Image
It might be better - more comfortable - to have a dog and two cats. All the love is focused on the cats and the dog. Am I right or wrong here? Have you seen it? At the end of this marriage, comes old age and loneliness.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
