Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.
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

Pope Francis
Image
Negative feelings choke the Lord’s word in us.
Pope Francis

Pope Francis
Image
Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.
Pope Francis
Image
The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.
Pope Francis
Image
Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
Pope Francis
Image
If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.
