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 FrancisThis is the mission of every Christian: lumina pandit - to spread the light and to tell the world of God's love.
Pope FrancisChristian love is loving without counting the cost. This is the lesson of the Good Samaritan; this is the lesson of Jesus.
Pope FrancisToday too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others. To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open up a horizon of hope; it is to let a shaft of light break through the heavy clouds; it is to bring the warmth of hope!
Pope Francis
