A simple lifestyle is good for us, helping us to better share with those in need.
Pope Francis
Image
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Dear young people, do not give up your dreams of a more just world!
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Our efforts must aim at restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples.
Pope Francis

Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.
Pope Francis

In a world like this, media can help us to feel closer to one another, creating a sense of unity of the human family which can in turn inspire solidarity and serious efforts to ensure a more dignified life for all.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!
Pope Francis

Dear young people, pray with me for peace in the world.
Pope Francis

It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don’t have food - that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.
Pope Francis
Image
Some people believe that - pardon my language - in order to be good Catholics, we should be like rabbits. No.
Pope Francis
Image
I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of cleaning people, of discarding people.
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
I love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.
Pope Francis
Image
It's true, harm to Catholics must always be avoided, and all of us do this...but not at the price of the truth!
Pope Francis
Image
It's important if you can do good with power. And Jesus defined power, true power is to serve, to do service, to do the most humble services, and I must still make progress on this path of service because I feel that I don't do everything I should do. That's the sense I have of power.
Pope Francis
Image
I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis
Image
Let's return to our first love, in order to receive the fire which Jesus has kindled in the world and to bring that fire to all people, to the very ends of the earth.
Pope Francis
