We cannot keep ourselves shut ...

We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel!

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Marriage now tends to be viewe...

Marriage now tends to be viewed as a form of mere emotional satisfaction that can be constructed in any way or modified at will. But the indispensible contribution of marriage to society transcends the feelings and momentary needs of the couple.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Challenges exist to be overcom...

Challenges exist to be overcome! Let us be realists, but without losing our joy, our boldness and our hope-filled commitment. Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary vigour!

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

If anyone feels offended by my...

If anyone feels offended by my words, I would respond that I speak them with affection and with the best of intentions, quite apart from any personal interest or political ideology. My words are not those of a foe or an opponent. I am interested only in helping those who are in thrall to an individualistic, indifferent and self-centred mentality to be freed from those unworthy chains and to attain a way of living and thinking which is more humane, noble and fruitful, and which will bring dignity to their presence on th

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Dear young people, Christ asks...

Dear young people, Christ asks you to be wide awake and alert, to see the things in life that really matter.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Where there is truth, there is...

Where there is truth, there is also light, but don't confuse light with the flash.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

I prefer a church which is bru...

I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Human rights are not only viol...

Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that creates huge inequalities.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Since many of you do not belon...

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 1292 quotes

An example I often use to illu...

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 1292 quotes

Jesus teaches us another way: ...

Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Wretched are those who are vin...

Wretched are those who are vindictive and spiteful.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

It is true that going out on t...

It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Although the life of a person ...

Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Sometimes negative news does c...

Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Inconsistency on the part of p...

Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the Church's credibility.

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!
