Quote

Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion. Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario.

From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
Pope Francis
Image
I don’t know if it is all (man’s fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature.
Pope Francis
Image
Joy cannot be held at heel: it must be let go. Joy is a pilgrim virtue. It is a gift that walks, walks on the path of life, that walks with Jesus: preaching, proclaiming Jesus, proclaiming joy, lengthens and widens that path.
Pope Francis
Image
Families have a citizenship which is divine. The identity card they have is given to them by God. So that within the heart of the family, truth, goodness and beauty may truly grow.
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
Terrorism is everywhere. You think of the tribal terrorism of some African countries.
Pope Francis
Image
We, the women and men of the Church, we are in the middle of a love story: each of us is a link in this chain of love. And if we do not understand this, we have understood nothing of what the Church is.
Pope Francis
Image
Sometimes we are tempted to find excuses and complain, acting as if we could only be happy if a thousand conditions were met...I can say that the most beautiful and natural expressions of joy which I have seen in my life were in poor people who had little to hold on to.
Pope Francis
Image
We also try to reach out to people who are far away, via digital means, the web and brief messaging.
Pope Francis
Image
May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.
Pope Francis
Image
The Gospel, radiant with the glory of Christ’s cross, constantly invites us to rejoice.
Pope Francis
Image
If we don’t think about God, everything ends up being about 'me' and my own comfort.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus, the Master, teaches the crowds and the small group of his disciples by accommodating himself to their ability to understand. ... Jesus does not seek to 'play the professor.' Instead, he seeks to reach people's hearts, their understanding and their lives, so that they may bear fruit.
Pope Francis
Image
My people are poor and I am one of them.
Pope Francis
Image
I recognize that globalization has helped many people rise out of poverty, but it has also damned many others to starve to death. It is true that global wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities have also grown and new poverty arisen.
Pope Francis
Image
If you don’t learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. When they posed this question to us – why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. Be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.
Pope Francis

Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.
Pope Francis
Image
The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus receives us with all of our limitations, He bring us the mercy of the Father who forgives us, and transforms our heart, rendering it a new heart, capable of loving Him, who loved His own to the end (cf. John 13:1). And this love is manifested in his mercy. Jesus always forgives us.
Pope Francis
Image
The proclamation of the Gospel is destined primarily to the poor, to those who often lack the essentials for a decent life. The good news is first announced to them, that God loves them before all others and comes to visit them through the acts of charity that the disciples of Christ carry out in his name.
