Image
Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth.
Pope Francis
Image
The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.
Pope Francis
Image
I recognize that globalization has helped many people rise out of poverty, but it has also damned many others to starve to death. It is true that global wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities have also grown and new poverty arisen.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for peace: peace in the world and in each of our hearts.
Pope Francis
Image
If we learn to say we're sorry and ask forgiveness, the marriage will last.
Pope Francis
Image
I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.
Pope Francis
Image
If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.
Pope Francis
Image
I have neither silver nor gold, but I bring with me the most precious thing given to me: Jesus Christ.

Gratitude is a flower that blooms in noble souls.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to reach out to those who find themselves in the existential peripheries of our societies and to show particular solidarity with the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters: the poor, the disabled, the unborn and the sick, migrants and refugees, the elderly and the young who lack employment.
Pope Francis
Image
Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.
Pope Francis
Image
If we want security, let us give security if we want life, let us give life if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.
Pope Francis
Image
The imposition of anomalous models and lifestyles are alien to people's identity and, in the end, are irresponsible.
Pope Francis
Image
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
Pope Francis
Image
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love it is like giving life.
Pope Francis
Image
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good. Thus will they be able to marshal the moral resources needed to face the demands of the present, and to pass on to coming generations a society of authentic justice, solidarity and peace.
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?... No one should marginalize these people for this, they must be integrated into society.
Pope Francis

Drug addiction is an evil, and with evil there can be no yielding or compromise.
