Ours is not a joy born of having many possessions, but of having encountered a person: Jesus in our midst.
Pope Francis...these things become the norm: that some homeless people die of cold on the streets is not news. In contrast, a ten point drop on the stock markets of some cities, is a tragedy. A person dying is not news, but if the stock markets drop ten points it is a tragedy! Thus people are disposed of, as if they were trash.
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 FrancisI make a forceful and urgent call to the entire Catholic Church, and also to every Christian of other confessions, as well as to followers of every religion and to those brothers and sisters who do not believe: peace is a good which overcomes every barrier, because it belongs to all of humanity!
