Image
There are martyrs [between Mexican people], now I will canonize two. It is a population that you can't explain, you can't explain it because the word 'people' is not a logical category, it's a mythical category.
Pope Francis
Image
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis
Image
When Christians forget about hope and tenderness they become a cold Church, that loses its sense of direction and is held back by ideologies and worldly attitudes, whereas God’s simplicity tells you: go forward, I am a Father who caresses you.
Pope Francis
Image
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
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 Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
Pope Francis
Image
Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to live daily according to the mind of Jesus and his Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus spoke in such a way that the people loved the things of God. That’s why they followed him.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray to the Lord and ask him to protect the family in the crisis with which the devil wants to destroy it. Families are the domestic church where Jesus grows in the love of a married couple, in the lives of their children.
Pope Francis
Image
In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!
Pope Francis
Image
I want to express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been struck by a strong earthquake, and I invite you to pray for that dear nation, which in recent days has suffered different calamities.
Pope Francis
Image
We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.
Pope Francis
Image
How many young people among you are like this? You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive. You still lack one thing. Become a beggar. This is what you still lack. Learn how to beg. This isn’t easy to understand. To learn how to beg. To learn how to receive with humility.
Pope Francis
Image
When evangelizers rise from prayer, their hearts are more open freed of self-absorption, they are desirous of doing good and sharing their lives with others.
Pope Francis
Image
Are we capable of bringing the word of God into the environment in which we live? Do we know how to speak of Christ, of what he represents for us, in our families, among the people who form part of our daily lives? Faith is born from listening, and is strengthened by proclamation.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to proclaim the Gospel on every street corner, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing, even with our preaching, every kind of disease and wound.
Pope Francis
Image
Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation.
Pope Francis
Image
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good. Thus will they be able to marshal the moral resources needed to face the demands of the present, and to pass on to coming generations a society of authentic justice, solidarity and peace.
Pope Francis
Image
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
Pope Francis
Image
You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.
Pope Francis
