If priest is closed to forgiveness, he won't receive it, because he locked the door from the inside. And what remains is to pray for the Lord to open that door. To forgive you must be willing. But not everyone can receive or know how to receive it, or are just not willing to receive it.
Pope Francis

If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.
Pope Francis
Image
Grace is not part of consciousness it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
Pope Francis
Image
We pray for the many brothers and sisters who seek refuge far from their native lands, who seek a home where they can live without fear: that they might always be respected in their dignity.
Pope Francis
Image
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
You can't have Christ without the Church.
Pope Francis
Image
Open your hearts to the Lord. The Lord is waiting for you and the Church will welcome you if your willingness to serve good is as clear and public as your choice to serve evil was.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to build up society in the light of the Beatitudes, walking towards the Kingdom with the least among us.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
We are living in a time of many wars. The call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet. Peace if always proactive and dynamic.
Pope Francis
