Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith the Lord will not abandon you!
Pope Francis
Image
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

A man who does not know how to have a relationship of friendship with a woman - I'm not talking about misogynists, who are sick - well, he's a man who is missing something.
Pope Francis
Image
The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope Francis
Image
Christmas celebrations are often full of sound. It would be good for us to make room for silence, to hear the voice of Love.
Pope Francis
Image
God is not afraid of new things.
Pope Francis
Image
Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you.
Pope Francis
Image
Are our lives truly filled with the presence of God? How many things take the place of God in my life each day?
Pope Francis
Image
The imbalance results from ideologies which uphold the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation, and thus deny the right of control to States, which are themselves charged with providing for the common good.
Pope Francis
Image
Today too, as at her origins, the Church... cries out:“Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love!” Amen.
