Pope Francis
Image
Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!
Pope Francis
Image
If sadness comes to you one day with an invitation, tell it you are committed to joy and will be faithful to it your whole life long.
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out?
Pope Francis
Image
Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.
Pope Francis
