Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation.
Pope Francis
Image
Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.
Pope Francis
Image
Wine is a sign of happiness, love and plenty, how many of our adolescents and young people sense that these are no longer found in their homes? How many women, sad and lonely, wonder when love left, when it slipped away from their lives? How many elderly people feel left out of family celebrations, cast aside and longing each day for a little love?
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
We are a church of sinners but we must not be afraid of holiness. Do not be afraid to aim for holiness and turn yourselves over to the love of God. Holiness does not mean performing extraordinary things but carrying out daily things in an extraordinary way that is with love, joy and faith.
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
Let's pray for whole world that there be brotherhood. I hope this journey of the church we begin today is fruitful for evangelization.
Pope Francis
Image
Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
Pope Francis
Image
We must not be afraid of solidarity rather let us make all we have and are available to God.
Pope Francis
Image
When a society lacks God, even prosperity is joined by a terrible spiritual poverty.
Pope Francis
Image
How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points? This is a case of exclusion.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, Jesus gives us life, life in abundance. If we are close to him we will have joy in our hearts and a smile on our face.
Pope Francis
Image
Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world
Pope Francis
Image
Each person, and every people hungers and thirsts for peace therefore, it is necessary and urgent to build peace!
Pope Francis
Image
Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it.
Pope Francis
Image
Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion. Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario.
Pope Francis
Image
Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
Europe has discarded its children. A bit triumphantly. I remember that when I was studying in one country the clinics that did abortions then prepared everything to send it to cosmetic factories. Makeup made with the blood of innocents. And this was something to brag about, because it was progressive.
Pope Francis
Image
[Mexican people] have a culture, a culture that goes back millennia.
Pope Francis
Image
...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.
