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.

Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of attraction. The Church must be attractive. Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live differently in this world.
Pope Francis
Image
When you lose the capacity to dream, you lose the capacity to love, and the energy to love is lost.
Pope Francis

I do not believe it is right to identify Islam with violence. This is not right or true.
Pope Francis
Image
Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!
Pope Francis
Image
You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!

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

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
It is a mortal sin to discard the elderly.
Pope Francis
Image
Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction.
Pope Francis
Image
The blood of our Christian brothers is a witness that cries out..If they are Catholic, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it is not important : They are Christians. The blood is the same: It is the blood which confesses Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Let's say 'Yes' to life and 'No' to death.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!
Pope Francis
Image
We ask for peace and freedom for the many men and women subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of criminal individuals and groups.
Pope Francis
Image
And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that lead to the good of all and are guided by love?
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. It is not by proselytizing that the Church grows, but by attraction.
