Image
The Golden Rule reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development. This conviction has led me, from the beginning of my ministry, to advocate at different levels for the global abolition of the death penalty.
Pope Francis
Image
Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.
Pope Francis
Image
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
On climate change, there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act.
Pope Francis
Image
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
Pope Francis
Image
Tell me, when you give alms do you look into the eyes of the man or woman to whom you give alms? . . . And when you give alms, do you touch the hand of the one to whom you give alms, or do you toss the coin?
Pope Francis
Image
It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren't joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!
Pope Francis
Image
We ask for peace and freedom for the many men and women subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of criminal individuals and groups.
Pope Francis
Image
Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Image
Resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like to ask you a question: how many of you pray to the Holy Spirit every day? Probably few, but we must satisfy this desire of Jesus and pray every day to the Holy Spirit, so that he opens our heart towards Jesus.
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
Money at the service of life can be managed in the right way by cooperatives, on condition that it is a real cooperative where capital does not have command over men but men over capital.
Pope Francis
Image
Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.
Pope Francis
Image
I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!
Pope Francis
Image
We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.
Pope Francis
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
We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.
Pope Francis
Image
Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil.
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever people listen to one another humbly and openly, their shared values and aspirations become all the more apparent. Diversity is no longer seen as a threat, but as a source of enrichment.
