Division within a Christian community is a very grave sin it is the work of the devil.
Pope Francis
Image
You can't provoke, you can't insult the faith of others, you can't make fun of faith.
Pope Francis
Image
In my own experience, including when I ask for advice, I would ask a collaborator, a friend, I also like to hear the opinion of a woman because they have such wealth. They look at things in a different way.
Pope Francis
Image
If I'm not mistaken, Sigmund Freud said that in every idealisation there's an aggression. Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.
Pope Francis
Image
Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Pope Francis
Image
Beware of getting too comfortable! When we are comfortable, it’s easy to forget other people.
Pope Francis

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
There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the clouds. This God spray does not exist! The three persons exist!
Pope Francis
Image
The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission.
Pope Francis
Image
The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.
Pope Francis
Image
A simple lifestyle is good for us, helping us to better share with those in need.
Pope Francis
Image
Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not grow tired of knocking at God's door. Let us go to the heart of God through Mary, our whole life, every day, knocking at the door of God's heart! Mary prays - prays together with the community of disciples, and teaches us to have full faith in God, in his mercy. This is the power of prayer!
Pope Francis
Image
It's important if you can do good with power. And Jesus defined power, true power is to serve, to do service, to do the most humble services, and I must still make progress on this path of service because I feel that I don't do everything I should do. That's the sense I have of power.
Pope Francis
Image
Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor: I want you to bless me.
Pope Francis
Image
When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope Francis
Image
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
Pope Francis
Image
We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them.
Pope Francis
Image
The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.
Pope Francis

The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.
