Quote

We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn't mean we have to wash each other's feet every day, but we must help one another.
Pope Francis
Image
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Image
Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you.

Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor: I want you to bless me.

The Earth is our environment to protect and the garden to tend to.

It [abortion] is a crime, an absolute evil.

Image
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
Pope Francis
Image
If we want security, let us give security if we want life, let us give life if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.
Pope Francis
Image
Today too, as at her origins, the Church... cries out:“Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love!” Amen.
Pope Francis
Image
The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?
Pope Francis
Image
That is why the center of our faith isn't just a book, but a history of Salvation, and above all, it's about a person: Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh.
Pope Francis
Image
Thank God [Donald Trump] said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as 'animal politicus.' At least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people.
Pope Francis
Image
In God’s great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. There are the saints of every day, the “hidden” saints, a sort of “middle class of holiness” to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis
Image
I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.
Pope Francis
Image
To imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place.
Pope Francis
Image
May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!
Pope Francis
