An evangelizer must never look like someone who has just come back from a funeral.
Pope Francis

In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
Pope Francis
Image
Despite our sins, we can say with Peter: Lord, you know everything, you know that I love you.

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!
Pope Francis
Image
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
Image
In God’s great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. There are the saints of every day, the “hidden” saints, a sort of “middle class of holiness” to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis
Image
Christian marriage is that sacrament which builds up the community of the Church and of society. Marriage has been inscribed in creation's design by God, and, by his grace, countless Christian men and women have lived married life fully.
Pope Francis
Image
Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God for us. And this is the first response to the first creation: protect creation, make it grow.

Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy.
Pope Francis
Image
The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus teaches us to put the needs of the poor ahead of our own, our needs, even if legitimate, will never be so urgent as those of the poor, who lack the necessities of life.
Pope Francis

The cross is the price of true love. Lord, give us the strength to accept and carry our crosses!
