Quote

Created half to rise, and half to fall Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.
Pope Francis
Image
In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!
Pope Francis
Image
Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
Please waste time just playing with your kids!
Pope Francis
Image
Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?
Pope Francis
Image
Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups.
Pope Francis
Image
It means caring for one another in our families: husbands and wives first protect one another, and then, as parents, they care for their children, and children themselves, in time, protect their parents.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is the sun and Mary is the dawn announcing his rising.
Pope Francis
Image
In a family, parents, grandparents and children feel at home no one is excluded. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance they support him. ... Should the same not happen in society?
Pope Francis
Image
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis
Image
Obsession with a consumerist lifestyle, above all when few people are capable of maintaining it, can only lead to violence and mutual destruction.
Pope Francis
Image
Be dispensers of God's grace, not controllers. Don't be the Holy Spirit's customs agents.
Pope Francis
Image
The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!
Pope Francis
Image
I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
If you don’t learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. When they posed this question to us – why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. Be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.
Pope Francis
Image
The whole journey of life is a journey of preparation... to see, to feel, to understand the beauty of what lies ahead, of the homeland towards which we walk.
Pope Francis
Image
The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis
Image
It is by God’s mercy that we are saved. May we never tire of spreading this joyful message to the world.
Pope Francis
Image
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.
