Pope Francis

God asks everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to us.

Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil.

When we do not profess Jesus Christ, we profess the worldliness of the devil, a demonic worldliness.

We live in an age rather skeptical of truth, of its existence." There is a "tendency to believe that nothing is definitive, and think that the truth is given by consent or by what we want. The question arises: does "the" truth really exist? What is "the" truth? Can we know it? Can we find it?

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.

Needing to talk badly about others indicates low self esteem. That means, 'I feel so low that instead of picking myself up, I have to cut others down.' Letting go of negative things quickly is healthy.

If you withdraw into yourself, you run the risk of becoming egocentric. And stagnant water becomes putrid.

We need to be creative with young people. If they have no opportunities, they will get into drugs and be vulnerable to suicide.

Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for the family. Calling for Sundays to be a holiday.

War is the suicide of humanity because it kills the heart and kills love.

Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.

The only war that we must all fight is the one against evil.

In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken.

God loves us. May we discover the beauty of loving and being loved.

How many innocent people and children suffer in the world! Lord, grant us your peace!

Jesus’ Cross shows the full force of evil, but also the full power of God’s mercy.

A credible witness to truth and to the values of the Gospel is urgently needed.

But always think this: do not be afraid of failure. Do not be afraid of falling. In the art of walking, what is important is not avoiding the fall but not remaining fallen.

Dear young people, the Church expects great things of you and your generosity. Don’t be afraid to aim high.

Jesus is the one who brings God to us and us to God.

Religious fundamentalism, even before it eliminates human beings by perpetrating horrendous killings, eliminates God himself, turning him into a mere ideological pretext.
