These days there is a lot of poverty in the world, and that's a scandal when we have so many riches and resources to give to everyone. We all have to think about how we can become a little poorer.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don't take care of the environment, there's no way of getting around it.
Pope Francis
Image
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Image
A person who is not convinced, enthusiastic, certain and in love, will convince nobody.
