Money has to serve, not to rule!
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.
Pope Francis
Image
God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
Pope Francis
Image
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
Image
Every people deserves to conserve its identity without being ideologically colonised.
Pope Francis
Image
I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.
Pope Francis
Image
If we wish to follow Christ closely, we cannot choose an easy, quiet life. It will be a demanding life, but full of joy.
Pope Francis
Image
We must overcome...all forms of racism. The problem of intolerance should be dealt with as a whole: every time a minority is persecuted and marginalized...the good of the whole society is in danger.
Pope Francis
Image
Sin is not a stain that I must wash out. What I need to do is ask forgiveness and reconcile myself, not go to the drycleaners. I have to go encounter Jesus who gave his life for me.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it.
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out?
Pope Francis
Image
The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.
Pope Francis
Image
It is important to integrate immigrants into society and to welcome them in the church community
Pope Francis
Image
Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!
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
Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she bears witness to God’s love. Be missionaries of God’s tenderness!
Pope Francis
Image
Peace is handcrafted. It is made every day. Also friendship among people, mutual knowledge, esteem, is handcrafted. It's made every day. Respect the other, say that which one thinks, but with respect, but walk together.
Pope Francis
