We must overcome...all forms of racism. The problem of intolerance should be dealt with as a whole: every time a minority is persecuted and marginalized...the good of the whole society is in danger.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
Pope Francis
Image
Let those desert places in our hearts bloom.
Pope Francis

I would like especially to mention you, the women, wives and mothers of Paraguay, who at great cost and sacrifice were able to lift up a country defeated, devastated and laid low by an abominable war. God bless your perseverance, God bless and encourage your faith, God bless the women of Paraguay, the most glorious women of America.

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
Image
The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.
Pope Francis
Image
We don't need youth museums but we do need holy young people.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
I had an experience of knowing the Polish people when I was a child, and where my father worked many Poles came to work after the war. They were good people, and this has stayed in my heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.
Pope Francis
Image
Resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'
Pope Francis
Image
The whole journey of life is a journey of preparation... to see, to feel, to understand the beauty of what lies ahead, of the homeland towards which we walk.
