This is God's way, the way of humility. It is the way of Jesus; there is no other. And there can be no humility without humiliation.
Pope FrancisIf you donโt learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. When they posed this question to us โ why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life โ our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. Be courageous, donโt be afraid to cry.
Pope FrancisWhen the Lord wants to give us a mission, wants to give us a task, He prepares us. He prepares us to do it well...What is important is the whole journey by which we arrive at the mission the Lord entrusts to us...when the Lord gives a mission, He always has us enter into a process, a process of purification, a process of discernment, a process of obedience, a process of prayer.
Pope FrancisThe Church is called to draw near to every person, beginning with the poorest and those who suffer.
Pope FrancisAt stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of Godโs law engraved in our hearts.
Pope FrancisAll of us must care for life, cherish life, with tenderness, warmth...to give life is to open (our) heart, and to care for life is to (give oneself) in tenderness and warmth for others, to have concern in my heart for others. Caring for life from the beginning to the end. What a simple thing, what a beautiful thing..So, go forth and don't be discouraged. Care for life. It's worth it.
Pope Francis
