Pope Francis

The Saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others.

Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?

Fraternal love is the nearest testimony that we can give that Jesus is alive among us.

He looked beyond. He looked to the peoples of the Earth and saw the destruction of the family because of the lack of children. Paul VI was courageous. He was a good pastor. He warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching, and from the heavens he blesses us today.

Please pray with me for everyone in Sri Lanka and the Philippines as I begin my trip.

Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself. So protect your families! See in them your country’s greatest treasure and nourish them always by prayer and the grace of the sacraments.

Prayer is all-powerful. Let us use it to bring peace to the Middle East and peace to the world.

We must not believe the Evil One when he tells us that there is nothing we can do in the face of violence, injustice and sin.

If we wish to follow Christ closely, we cannot choose an easy, quiet life. It will be a demanding life, but full of joy.

You can't have Christ without the Church.

There is no cross, big or small, in our life which the Lord does not share with us.

The secret of Christian living is love. Only love fills the empty spaces caused by evil.

If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.

Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.

You cannot insult the faith of others.

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven.

The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.

God does not reveal himself in strength or power, but in the weakness and fragility of a newborn babe.

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!

Every Christian can witness to God in the workplace, not only with words, but above all with an honest life.

Work is fundamental to the dignity of the person. Work, to use an image, 'anoints' with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God who has worked and still works, who always acts.
