Image
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
Image
...when food is shared in a fair way, with solidarity, when no one is deprived, every community can meet the needs of the poorest. Human ecology and environmental ecology walk together.
Pope Francis

Breathing is made up of two stages: inhaling, the intake of air, and exhaling, the letting out of air. The spiritual life is fed, nourished, by prayer and is expressed outwardly through mission: inhaling and exhaling. When we inhale, by prayer, we receive the fresh air of the Holy Spirit.

Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
Pope Francis
Image
Be dispensers of God's grace, not controllers. Don't be the Holy Spirit's customs agents.
Pope Francis
Image
Politics is noble it is one of the highest forms of charity, as Paul VI used to say. We sully it when we mix it with business. The relationship between the Church and political power can also be corrupted if common good is not the only converging point.
Pope Francis
Image
Wars are always madness: all is lost in war, all is to be gained in peace.
Pope Francis

Drug addiction is an evil, and with evil there can be no yielding or compromise.
