Dear brothers and sisters, the Church loves you! Be an active presence in the community, as living cells, as living stones.

I love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.
Pope Francis

Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.
Pope Francis
Image
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
Pope Francis

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Image
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
Pope Francis
Image
Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.

Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Image
The Cross of Christ bears the suffering and the sin of mankind, including our own. Jesus accepts all this with open arms, bearing on His shoulders our crosses and saying to us: 'Have courage! You do not carry your cross alone! I carry it with you. I have overcome death and I have come to give you hope, to give you life' (John 3:16).
Pope Francis
Image
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
Image
Brothers and sisters, good evening. You all know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him... but here we are.
Pope Francis
Image
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.
Pope Francis
Image
I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.
Pope Francis
Image
Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
Dearest brothers and sisters who are so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are stripped of everything. I am with you in the faith of the one who has conquered evil!
Pope Francis
Image
To be a mother is a great treasure. Mothers, in their unconditional and sacrificial love for their children, are the antidote to individualism they are the greatest enemies against war.
