Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.
Pope Francis
Image
The real power is love, that which empowers others, that which arouses action, that which no chain is able to hold back, for even on the Cross or on the death bed one is able to love. One does not need youthful beauty, nor recognition or approval, nor money or prestige. Let love simply bloom...and it is unstoppable.
Pope Francis
Image
Grace is not part of consciousness it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
Pope Francis
Image
You have a specific and important mission, that of keeping alive the relationship between the faith and the cultures of the peoples to whom you belong. . . . [W]e have to follow Christ along the concrete path of our daily lives so that he can transform us.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not forget this word: God never ever tires of forgiving us!
