Quote

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.

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to Jesus, but on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn others. And Jesus has this message for us: mercy. I think - and I say it with humility - that this is the Lord's most powerful message: mercy.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Western Church to which I belong, priests cannot be married as in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian or Greek Catholic Churches. In those Churches, the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate. They are very good priests.
Pope Francis
Image
Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.
Pope Francis
Image
Nurturing and cherishing creation is a command God gives not only at the beginning of history, but to each of us. It is part of his plan it means causing the world to grow responsibly, transforming it so that it may be a garden, a habitable place for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
To live as true children of God means to love our neighbour and to be close to those who are lonely and in difficulty
Pope Francis
Image
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.
Pope Francis
Image
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?
Pope Francis
Image
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
Image
I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.
Pope Francis
Image
I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.
Pope Francis
Image
How many young people, how many young people of our Europe, whom we have left empty of ideals, who do not have work... they take drugs, alcohol, or go there to enlist in fundamentalist groups.
Pope Francis
Image
The Holy Spirit helps us to view others with fresh eyes, seeing them always as brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be respected and loved.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
Image
As Christians, our duty is to pray for them and ask the Lord to give them the grace of penance, so that they don't die with a corrupt heart, because otherwise the dogs of hell will take their blood.
Pope Francis
Image
Anyone who wants to be pope doesn't care much for themselves, God doesn't bless them. I didn't want to be pope.
Pope Francis
Image
Yet only when we come to understand, in the light of the Cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance.
Pope Francis
Image
In the poor and outcast we see Christ’s face by loving and helping the poor, we love and serve Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Let Jesus preach to you, and and let Jesus heal you. We are all wounded. Everyone.
Pope Francis
