Whenever people listen to one another humbly and openly, their shared values and aspirations become all the more apparent. Diversity is no longer seen as a threat, but as a source of enrichment.

More quotes by Pope Francis
I don't like to speak of Islamic violence, because every day, when I browse the newspapers, I see violence, here in Italy... this one who has murdered his girlfriend, another who has murdered the mother-in-law... and these are baptized Catholics! There are violent Catholics!
Pope Francis
Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.
Pope Francis
Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil.
Pope Francis
The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops, who have the care of souls, are at the service of the people of God.
Pope Francis
Saints are people who belong fully to God. They are not afraid of being mocked, misunderstood or marginalized.
Pope Francis
I would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.
Pope Francis
When Christians forget about hope and tenderness they become a cold Church, that loses its sense of direction and is held back by ideologies and worldly attitudes, whereas God’s simplicity tells you: go forward, I am a Father who caresses you.
Pope Francis
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope Francis
How does St. Joseph exercise his role as protector? Discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand.
Pope Francis
Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith the Lord will not abandon you!
Pope Francis
The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!
Pope Francis
And now I would like to give the blessing, but first - first I ask a favor of you: before the Bishop blesses his people, I ask you to pray to the Lord that he will bless me: the prayer of the people asking the blessing for their Bishop.
Pope Francis
Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'
Pope Francis
We can observe the Fourth Commandment by loving visits to our aging grandparents
Pope Francis
We are living in a time of many wars. The call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet. Peace if always proactive and dynamic.
Pope Francis
Around us there is the presence of evil. The devil is at work. But in a loud voice I say: GOD IS STRONGER.
Pope Francis
Obsession with a consumerist lifestyle, above all when few people are capable of maintaining it, can only lead to violence and mutual destruction.
Pope Francis
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 Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
Pope Francis
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
Pope Francis
