To be friends with God means to pray with simplicity, like children talking to their parents.
Pope FrancisFirst, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!
Pope Francis[Sviatoslav] Schevchuk, in the dogmatic part declares himself to be a son of the Church and in communion with the bishop of Rome and the Church. He speaks of the Pope and his closeness of the Pope and of himself, his faith, and also of the Orthodox people there. The dogmatic part, there's no difficulty. He's Orthodox in the good sense of the word, that is in Catholic doctrine, no.
Pope FrancisIn this Year of Faith, we pray to the Lord that the Church may always be a true family that brings God’s love to everyone.
Pope FrancisI would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.
