Patriarch Kirill. I would prefer - because if I say one thing, I have to say another and another and another. I would prefer that what we spoke about, us, alone, will remain only what we said in public.
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

I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of cleaning people, of discarding people.
Pope Francis
Image
If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties we must be humble.

The love of God is not something vague or generic the love of God has a name and a face: Jesus Christ.

The time has come for the Church to take up the joyful call to mercy once more. It is time to return to the basics and to bear the weaknesses and struggles of our brothers and sisters. Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instils in us the courage to look to the future with hope.

How many kinds of moral and material poverty we face today as a result of denying God and putting so many idols in his place!
Pope Francis

If we see someone who needs help, do we stop? There is so much suffering and poverty, and a great need for good Samaritans.
Pope Francis

Jesus is God but he humbled himself to walk with us. He is our friend, our brother.

Do good: we will meet one another there.

Jesuits make a vow of obedience to the Pope. But if the Pope is a Jesuit, perhaps he has to make a vow of obedience to the General of the Jesuits! I don’t know how to resolve this … I feel a Jesuit in my spirituality in the spirituality of the Exercises, the spirituality deep in my heart.

Christ comes among us at Christmas: it is the perfect time for a personal encounter with the Lord.
Pope Francis

The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!
Pope Francis
Image
Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.

The vocation of being a 'protector' [. . .] means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us [. . .] In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts!

The blood of our Christian brothers is a witness that cries out..If they are Catholic, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it is not important : They are Christians. The blood is the same: It is the blood which confesses Christ.
