More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Take care of God’s creation. But above all, take care of people in need.
Pope Francis
Image
Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.
Pope Francis
Image
I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
Image
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Image
No one must use the name of God to commit violence. To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.
Pope Francis
Image
To celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation means to be wrapped in a warm embrace.
Pope Francis
Image
Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears.
Pope Francis
Image
It is the attitude of some leaders of God's people they continually scold others, hurl reproaches at them, tell them to be quiet. ... 'Madam, take your crying child out of the church as I am preaching.' As if the cries of a child were not a sublime homily.
Pope Francis
Image
Money at the service of life can be managed in the right way by cooperatives, on condition that it is a real cooperative where capital does not have command over men but men over capital.
Pope Francis
Image
From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.
Pope Francis
Image
Who am I to judge a gay person?
Pope Francis
Image
Let's say 'Yes' to life and 'No' to death.
Pope Francis
Image
May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman.
Pope Francis
Image
Today Saint Paul has told us that in Christ we have become God’s adopted children, brothers and sisters in Christ. This is who we are. This is our identity.
Pope Francis
Image
Abortion is without a doubt one of the greatest moral evils within modernity. As the Advocate of Christian Memory, a pope must take up the mantle of defending the culture of life - a defense the Early Church held against the pagans of Rome.
Pope Francis
Image
Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
Pope Francis
Image
Religious freedom is a fundamental human right.
