Pope Francis May Quotations

A great challenge: stop ruining the garden which God has entrusted to us so that all may enjoy it.

You may be poor yourselves in material ways, but you have an abundance of gifts to offer when you offer Christ and the community of his Church.

May the World Day of Consecrated Life be a timely occasion to rediscover the centrality of Jesus in our lives.

We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.

In this Year of Faith, we pray to the Lord that the Church may always be a true family that brings God’s love to everyone.

When we walk without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we proclaim Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly. We may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, all of this, but we are not disciples of the Lord.

Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.

May the Lord bless the family and strengthen it in this moment of crisis

I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!

This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.

Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.

Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like Him.

I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.

There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.

May we always say thank you to God, especially for his patience and mercy.

I cannot imagine a Christian who does not know how to smile. May we joyfully witness to our faith.

May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.

God loves us. May we discover the beauty of loving and being loved.

May each family rediscover family prayer, which helps to bring about mutual understanding and forgiveness.

It is by God’s mercy that we are saved. May we never tire of spreading this joyful message to the world.

May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!

May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.

Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.

The family is the most important wealth of a nation. May we endeavor to defend and strengthen the foundation of society.

Sometimes we are saddened by the weight of our sins. May we not be discouraged. Christ has come to lift this burden and give us peace.

We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them.
