Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.

Pope Francis
Image
If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good.
Pope Francis

Indifference to our neighbour and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.
Pope Francis

It also happens to me that when I meet a clericalist, I suddenly become anti-clerical. Clericalism should not have anything to do with Christianity. St. Paul, who was the first to speak to the Gentiles, the pagans, to believers in other religions, was the first to teach us that.
Pope Francis
Image
We all need to improve, to change for the better. Lent helps us fight against our faults.
Pope Francis

To be a mother is a great treasure. Mothers, in their unconditional and sacrificial love for their children, are the antidote to individualism they are the greatest enemies against war.
Pope Francis
Image
The thing the Church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful.
Pope Francis
Image
Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus on the Cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God's love he conquers it, he defeats it with his resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
The fruits of this profound union with Jesus are marvelous: our whole being is transformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit: soul, intelligence, will, affections and even the body, because we are united in body and spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
By saying blessed are those who mourn, Jesus does not intend to declare an unfortunate and burdensome condition in life to be happy. Suffering is not a value in itself, but a reality that Jesus teaches us to live with the correct attitude.
Pope Francis
Image
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.
