When I confess a couple who have kids, a married couple, I ask, 'how many children do you have?' Some get worried and think the priest will ask why I don't have more. I would make a second question, 'Do you play with your children?' The majority say, 'but father, I have no time. I work all day.'
Pope FrancisWhenever I have a problem, I ask the Saint (Thรฉrรจse of Lisieux) not to solve it, but to take it into her hands and to help me accept it and I almost always receive a white rose as a sign.
Pope FrancisWorshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing-not only by our words- that he alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.
Pope FrancisEvery man, every woman who has to take up the service of government, must ask themselves two questions: โDo I love my people in order to serve them better? Am I humble and do I listen to everybody, to diverse opinions in order to choose the best path.โ If you donโt ask those questions, your governance will not be good.
Pope Francis
