Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!
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 FrancisIf we don't learn how to cry, we can't be good Christians. This is a challenge. Don't be frightened of crying.
Pope FrancisLet yourselves be led by the Holy Spirit, with freedom and, please, do not cage the Holy Spirit
Pope FrancisThe real power is love, that which empowers others, that which arouses action, that which no chain is able to hold back, for even on the Cross or on the death bed one is able to love. One does not need youthful beauty, nor recognition or approval, nor money or prestige. Let love simply bloom...and it is unstoppable.
Pope Francis
