Pope Francis: “The tragedy we are experiencing summons us to take seriously the things that are serious, and not to be caught up in those that matter less; to rediscover that life is of no use if not used to serve others. For life is measured by love.”

Pope Francis: “We will be judged on our relationship with the poor. When Jesus says, “The poor you will always have with you”, he is saying, “I will always be with you in the poor; I will be present there”. This is at the center of the Gospel, so much so that we will be judged on it.”

Pope Francis: “In the context of the pandemic that threatens human life and the global economy, today we reiterate the teaching of #EvangeliumVitae to transmit the culture of life to future generations: an attitude of solidarity, care, and welcome.”

Pope Francis: “Let us remember in our prayers all those who, with dedication and spirit of sacrifice, care for those who are ill.”

Pope Francis: “God is greater than nothingness, and a lit candle is enough to overcome the darkest of nights.”

Pope Francis: “Young people, dream, rise up, take risks, look at life with a new smile, go forwards, do not be fearful!”

Pope Francis: “The true worship of God is always expressed in love of one’s neighbour.”
