Be dispensers of God's grace, not controllers. Don't be the Holy Spirit's customs agents.
Pope FrancisIt is by God’s mercy that we are saved. May we never tire of spreading this joyful message to the world.
Pope FrancisMercy is the very foundation of the Church's life...The Church's very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love...Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope.
Pope FrancisI see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity. I see the church as a field hospital after battle... The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules. The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.
Pope Francis
