The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?
Pope FrancisHuman life must always be defended from its beginning in the womb and must be recognised as a gift of God that guarantees the future of humanity.
Pope FrancisToday, we need a Church capable of walking at people's side, of doing more than simply listening to them; a Church which accompanies them on their journey.
Pope FrancisWe don't want this globalised economic system which does us so much harm. Men and women have to be at the centre (of an economic system) as God wants, not money. The world has become an idolator of this god called money. To defend this economic culture, a throwaway culture has been installed. We throw away grandparents, and we throw away young people. We have to say no to his throwaway culture. We want a just system that helps everyone.
Pope FrancisMen and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the 'culture of waste.' If a computer breaks it is a tragedy, but poverty, the needs and dramas of so many people end up being considered normal. ... When the stock market drops 10 points in some cities, it constitutes a tragedy. Someone who dies is not news, but lowering income by 10 points is a tragedy! In this way people are thrown aside as if they were trash.
