Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God.
Pope Francis

Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
Image
I invite [journalists] to seriously study the facts of Guadalupe. The Madonna is there. I cannot find another explanation.
Pope Francis
Image
May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don't take care of the environment, there's no way of getting around it.
Pope Francis

Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!

Fraternal love is the nearest testimony that we can give that Jesus is alive among us.
Pope Francis
Image
True peace is not a balance of opposing forces, and it is not ‘a lovely façade’ simply covering conflicts and divisions. Rather, peace calls for daily commitment -- it's homemade -- starting from God's gift, from the grace which he has given us in Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.
Pope Francis
Image
The Rosary is a school of Prayer. The Rosary is a school of Faith.
Pope Francis
Image
Christmas celebrations are often full of sound. It would be good for us to make room for silence, to hear the voice of Love.
Pope Francis
Image
Christian hope is not a ghost and it does not deceive. It is a theological virtue and therefore, ultimately, a gift from God that cannot be reduced to optimism, which is only human. God does not mislead hope God cannot deny himself. God is all promise.
Pope Francis
Image
Humanity needs to see these gestures of peace and to hear words of hope and peace!
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
