Image
We also must learn to listen more to our conscience. Be careful, however: this does not mean we ought to follow our ego, do whatever interests us, whatever suits us, whatever pleases us. That is not conscience.
Pope Francis
Image
May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!
Pope Francis
Image
God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
Pope Francis
Image
He looked beyond. He looked to the peoples of the Earth and saw the destruction of the family because of the lack of children. Paul VI was courageous. He was a good pastor. He warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching, and from the heavens he blesses us today.

From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
Pope Francis
Image
We are a church of sinners but we must not be afraid of holiness. Do not be afraid to aim for holiness and turn yourselves over to the love of God. Holiness does not mean performing extraordinary things but carrying out daily things in an extraordinary way that is with love, joy and faith.
Pope Francis
Image
[Abortion] is an evil in and of itself, but it is not a religious evil in the beginning, no, it's a human evil. Then obviously, as with every human evil, each killing is condemned.
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
It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.
Pope Francis
Image
I do not believe, that it is true or right that Islam is terrorist.
Pope Francis
Image
A population that does not take care of the elderly and of children and the young has no future, because it abuses both its memory and its promise.
