Pope Francis Quotes

"The Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.""There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.""Loving and forgiving are tangible and visible signs that faith has transformed our hearts""The true strength of the Christian is the power of truth and love, which leads to the renouncement of all violence. Faith and violence are incompatible""Behind every form of evil in our society is the loss of a sense of God""The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty""A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just""Wake up the world Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living""The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel.""If someone is gay and searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?""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.""A Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.""We must not be afraid of goodness or even tenderness.""Throwing away food is like stealing from the table of those who are poor and hungry.""Certainly, the future does have a name, and its name is hope.""This is the struggle of every person: be free or be a slave.""The way we care for the earth is mirrored in the way we care for each other.""The worst discrimination which the poor suffer is the lack of spiritual care. The great majority of the poor have a special openness to the faith; they need God and we must not fail to offer them his friendship, his blessing, his word, the celebration of the sacraments, and a journey of growth and maturity in the faith.""God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.""Each of us has a vision of good and of evil We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight the evil as he conceives them That would be enough to make the world a better place"
