More quotes by Pope Francis
May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.
Pope Francis
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
May the deepest spiritual values of the Filipino people continue to find expression in your efforts to provide your fellow citizens with an integral human development. In this way, each person will be able to fulfill his or her potential, and thus contribute wisely and well to the future of this country.
Pope Francis
On climate change, there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act.
Pope Francis
If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.
Pope Francis
A great challenge: stop ruining the garden which God has entrusted to us so that all may enjoy it.
Pope Francis
Many powerful people don't want peace, because they live off war.
Pope Francis
You might say, 'Can't we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?' In this way we'd become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.
Pope Francis
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
Proclaim the beauty and truth of the Christian message to a society which is tangent by confusing presentations of sexuality, marriage and the family.
Pope Francis
We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.
Pope Francis
You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.
Pope Francis
May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.
Pope Francis
The emptier a person's heart is, the more he or she needs to buy, own, and consume.
Pope Francis
The border between good and evil passes not outside of us but within us
Pope Francis
When I had to say something that I didn't like to Turkey, but of which I was sure, I said it, with the consequences that you all know [Editor's note: a reference to his comments on the Armenian Genocide]. I said these words ... I was sure
Pope Francis
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
How many young people, how many young people of our Europe, whom we have left empty of ideals, who do not have work... they take drugs, alcohol, or go there to enlist in fundamentalist groups.
Pope Francis
I don’t know if it is all (man’s fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature.
Pope Francis
