Pope Francis: “Fear, prejudice and false religiosity: these are three causes of a great injustice, three ‘leprosy infections of the soul’ that make the weak suffer because they are treated like rubbish.”

Pope Francis: “Love can recognize good things even in bad situations. Love keeps a tiny flame alight even in the darkest night.”

Pope Francis: “A faith that does not trouble us is a troubled faith. A faith that does not make us grow is a faith that needs to grow.”

Pope Francis: “Every man, every woman, has our own beauty, we only have to learn how to see it, how to recognize it.”

Pope Francis: “Terrorism and extremism do not help to reach a solution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, but fuel hatred, violence, revenge, and only cause each to other suffer. The Middle East needs a peace built on dialogue and the courage of fraternity.”

Pope Francis: “We need to retrieve our passion and enthusiasm, reawaken our desire to commit ourselves to fraternity. We need to once again risk loving our families and dare to love the weakest, and to rediscover in the Gospel the transforming grace that makes life beautiful.”
