More quotes by Pope Francis
Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.
Pope Francis
The goods of the earth are meant for everyone.
Pope Francis
The cross of Christ, embraced with love, never brings sadness with it, but joy, the joy of being saved and of doing a little of what he did on the day of his death.
Pope Francis
Dear young people, do not give up your dreams of a more just world!
Pope Francis
Faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words & through love.
Pope Francis
I think with great affection and deep gratitude of my venerable predecessor, Benedict XVI, who during these years of his pontificate has enriched and strengthened the Church with his teaching, his goodness, his guidance, his faith, his humility, and his gentleness, which will remain a spiritual heritage for all.
Pope Francis
A poverty learned with the humble, the poor, the sick and all those who are on the existential outskirts of life. A theoretical poverty is no use to us. Poverty is learned by touching the flesh of the poor Christ, in the humble, in the poor, in the sick and in children.
Pope Francis
True love does not pay attention to the evil it suffers. It rejoices in doing good.
Pope Francis
Breathing is made up of two stages: inhaling, the intake of air, and exhaling, the letting out of air. The spiritual life is fed, nourished, by prayer and is expressed outwardly through mission: inhaling and exhaling. When we inhale, by prayer, we receive the fresh air of the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis
During Lent, let us find concrete ways to overcome our indifference.
Pope Francis
An evangelizing community gets involved in word and deed in people’s daily lives it bridges distances, it is willing to abase itself if necessary, and it embraces human life, touching the suffering flesh of Christ in others
Pope Francis
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Pope Francis
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
To build peace is difficult but to live without it is torment.
Pope Francis
Children are to be welcomed, cherished, protected.
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
In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
Pope Francis
Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that lead to the good of all and are guided by love?
Pope Francis
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
