The Lord put it clearly: you cannot serve two masters. You have to choose between God and money.
Pope FrancisI love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.
Pope FrancisThe Holy Spirit is a great worker, not a 'trade unionist.' He is a great worker, and He works in us, always. He does this work of explaining the mystery of Jesus, and of giving us this sense of Christ.
Pope FrancisAnd with the grace of Baptism and of Eucharistic Communion I can become an instrument of God's mercy, of that beautiful mercy of God.
Pope FrancisWe must avoid the spiritual disease of the Church that can become self-referential: when this happens, the Church itself becomes sick. Itโs true that accidents can happen when you go out into the street, as can happen to any man or woman. But if the Church remains closed onto itself, self-referential, it grows old. Between a Church that goes into the street and gets into an accident and a Church that is sick with self-referentiality, I have no doubts in preferring the first.
Pope Francis
