I had an experience of knowing the Polish people when I was a child, and where my father worked many Poles came to work after the war. They were good people, and this has stayed in my heart.

More quotes by Pope Francis
Our mission as Christians is to conform ourselves evermore to Jesus as the model of our lives.
Pope Francis
If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.
Pope Francis
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
A Senate vote on gay marriage is a destructive pretension against the plan of God
Pope Francis
If I'm not mistaken, Sigmund Freud said that in every idealisation there's an aggression. Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.
Pope Francis
God asks everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to us.
Pope Francis
Obsession with a consumerist lifestyle, above all when few people are capable of maintaining it, can only lead to violence and mutual destruction.
Pope Francis
Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.
Pope Francis
How does St. Joseph exercise his role as protector? Discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand.
Pope Francis
To imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place.
Pope Francis
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
Humanity needs justice, peace and love and we can have this only by returning with our hearts towards God who is the source of all this.
Pope Francis
The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness, and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew.
Pope Francis
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
I make a forceful and urgent call to the entire Catholic Church, and also to every Christian of other confessions, as well as to followers of every religion and to those brothers and sisters who do not believe: peace is a good which overcomes every barrier, because it belongs to all of humanity!
Pope Francis
I already knew about this friendship between St. John Paul II and this philosopher [Ana Teresa Tymieniecka] when I was in Buenos Aires. It was known. Also her books are known.
Pope Francis
We proclaim the resurrection of Christ when his light illuminates the dark moments of our existence, and we are able share it with others
Pope Francis
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
Pope Francis
God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
Pope Francis
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.
Pope Francis
