Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out?
Pope Francis
Image
I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.
Pope Francis
Image
Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
The poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ
Pope Francis
Image
I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.
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
When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope Francis
Image
If we live according to the law an eye for an eye..., we will never escape from the spiral of evil.
Pope Francis
Image
In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like a more missionary church,Not so much a tranquil church, but a beautiful church that goes forward.
Pope Francis
Image
One cannot offend, make war, kill in the name of one's own religion, that is, in the name of God.
Pope Francis
Image
All Catholics must ask themselves what they personally have done lately to build up the holiness of the church and ensure people feel welcomed and loved in it.
Pope Francis
Image
Lent is a good time for sacrificing. Let us deny ourselves something every day to help others.
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
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.
Pope Francis
Image
God always forgives, always. But he asks that I forgive. If I don't forgive, in a certain sense I am closing the door to God's forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Every time we give in to selfishness and say “No” to God, we spoil his loving plan for us.
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
We Christians bring peace and grace as a treasure to be offered to the world, but these gifts can bear fruit only when Christians live and work together in harmony. This makes it easier to contribute to building relations of respect and peaceful coexistence with those who belong to other religious traditions, and with non-believers.
Pope Francis
Image
If we wish to follow Christ closely, we cannot choose an easy, quiet life. It will be a demanding life, but full of joy.
Pope Francis
