More quotes by Pope Francis
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
Let us ask Mary to help us fix our eyes intently on Jesus, to follow him always, even when this is demanding.
Pope Francis
Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario. Or to live comfortably, no? It's against the Hippocratic oaths doctors must take.
Pope Francis
We also try to reach out to people who are far away, via digital means, the web and brief messaging.
Pope Francis
The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
Pope Francis
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis
We have to find a new balance otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world
Pope Francis
And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that lead to the good of all and are guided by love?
Pope Francis
Gossip can also kill, because it kills the reputation of the person! It is so terrible to gossip! At first it may seem like a nice thing, even amusing, like enjoying a candy. But in the end, it fills the heart with bitterness, and even poisons us.
Pope Francis
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Pope Francis
I like to say that women are those who form life in their wombs - and this is a comparison I make - they have this charism of giving you things you can build with.
Pope Francis
If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
Pope Francis
To all people of good will who are working for social justice: never tire of working for a more just world, marked by greater solidarity!
Pope Francis
Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!
Pope Francis
Today one can read the Gospel also on so many technological instruments. You can carry the whole Bible on your mobile phone, on your tablet. It is important to read the Word of God, by any means, but by reading the Word of God: Jesus speaks to us there! And welcome it with an open heart. Then the good seed will bear fruit!
Pope Francis
You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups.
Pope Francis
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus, the Master, teaches the crowds and the small group of his disciples by accommodating himself to their ability to understand. ... Jesus does not seek to 'play the professor.' Instead, he seeks to reach people's hearts, their understanding and their lives, so that they may bear fruit.
Pope Francis
We all need to improve, to change for the better. Lent helps us fight against our faults.
Pope Francis
