More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Jesus on the Cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God's love he conquers it, he defeats it with his resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
Let Jesus preach to you, and and let Jesus heal you. We are all wounded. Everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not have a computer psychology that makes us think we know it all. All answers on computers - but no surprises. The challenge of love. God reveals himself through surprises.
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
It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
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
This is precisely the reason for the dissatisfaction of some, who end up sad - sad priests - in some sense becoming collectors of antiques or novelties, instead of being shepherds living with 'the odor of the sheep.' This I ask you: Be shepherds, with the 'odor of the sheep,' make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men.
Pope Francis
Image
Dearest brothers and sisters who are so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are stripped of everything. I am with you in the faith of the one who has conquered evil!
Pope Francis
Image
Indifference to our neighbour and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.
Pope Francis
Image
The key phrase used by the synod, which I'll take up again, is 'integrate' in the life of the Church the wounded families, remarried families, etc. But of this one mustn't forget the children in the middle. They are the first victims, both in the wounds, and in the conditions of poverty, of work.
Pope Francis
Image
The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil.
Pope Francis
Image
Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself.
Pope Francis
Image
I think with great affection and deep gratitude of my venerable predecessor, Benedict XVI, who during these years of his pontificate has enriched and strengthened the Church with his teaching, his goodness, his guidance, his faith, his humility, and his gentleness, which will remain a spiritual heritage for all.

The Pope doesn't get mixed up in Italian politics.
Pope Francis
Image
There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus understands our weaknesses and sins and he forgives us if we allow ourselves to be forgiven.
Pope Francis
Image
I ask everyone with political responsibility to remember two things: human dignity and the common good.
