Image
Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.
Pope Francis
Image
We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. BUt the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyses: 'I am talking with you in order to persuade you.' No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attracting, not proselytizing.
Pope Francis
Image
Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Pope Francis
Image
Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
Pope Francis
Image
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not grow tired of knocking at God's door. Let us go to the heart of God through Mary, our whole life, every day, knocking at the door of God's heart! Mary prays - prays together with the community of disciples, and teaches us to have full faith in God, in his mercy. This is the power of prayer!
Pope Francis
Image
It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
These two criteria are like the pillars of true love: deeds, and the gift of self.
Pope Francis
Image
The cross is the price of true love. Lord, give us the strength to accept and carry our crosses!
Pope Francis
Image
Let us go back to the Lord. The Lord never tires of forgiving: never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness. Let us ask for the grace not to tire of asking forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus, the Master, teaches the crowds and the small group of his disciples by accommodating himself to their ability to understand. ... Jesus does not seek to 'play the professor.' Instead, he seeks to reach people's hearts, their understanding and their lives, so that they may bear fruit.
Pope Francis
Image
Europe has discarded its children. A bit triumphantly. I remember that when I was studying in one country the clinics that did abortions then prepared everything to send it to cosmetic factories. Makeup made with the blood of innocents. And this was something to brag about, because it was progressive.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. Do not give in to pessimism and discouragement. We have the firm certainty that the Holy Spirit gives the Church with His mighty breath, the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
Pope Francis
Image
Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.
Pope Francis
Image
Politics is noble it is one of the highest forms of charity, as Paul VI used to say. We sully it when we mix it with business. The relationship between the Church and political power can also be corrupted if common good is not the only converging point.
Pope Francis
Image
The goods of the earth are meant for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.
Pope Francis
Image
God loves us. May we discover the beauty of loving and being loved.
Pope Francis
