More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
We who are Christians, members of God’s family, are called to go out to the needy and to serve them.
Pope Francis
Image
I want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools or structures. Because these need to get out!
Pope Francis
Image
Let us go back to the Lord. The Lord never tires of forgiving: never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness. Let us ask for the grace not to tire of asking forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving.
Pope Francis
Image
Mere administration can no longer be enough. Throughout the world, let us be permanently in a state of mission.
Pope Francis
Image
The Earth is our environment to protect and the garden to tend to.
Pope Francis
Image
There is the tendency to place ourselves and our ambitions at the center of our lives. This is very human, but it is not Christian.
Pope Francis
Image
God is not afraid of new things.
Pope Francis
Image
Consumerism has brought us anxiety. Set aside time to play with your children, and turn off the TV when they sit down to eat.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to provide an education which teaches crit­ical thinking and encourages the development of mature moral values.
Pope Francis
Image
The crucifix does not signify defeat or failure. It reveals to us the Love that overcomes evil and sin.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).
Pope Francis
Image
There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father.
Pope Francis
Image
To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.
Pope Francis
Image
In a family, parents, grandparents and children feel at home no one is excluded. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance they support him. ... Should the same not happen in society?
Pope Francis
Image
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
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.
Pope Francis
Image
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
God always forgives, always. But he asks that I forgive. If I don't forgive, in a certain sense I am closing the door to God's forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
Pope Francis
