Pope Francis: “Today’s world stands in great need of witnesses, not so much of teachers but rather of witnesses. It’s not so much about speaking, but rather speaking with our whole lives.”

Pope Francis: “God chose and blessed us for a purpose: to be holy and blameless in his sight (Eph 1:4).  He chose us, each of us to be witnesses of his truth and his justice in this world.”

Pope Francis: “The attachment to riches is the beginning of all kinds of corruption, everywhere: personal corruption, corruption in business, even small commercial bribery…political corruption, corruption in education.”

Pope Francis: “God acts in humility, in silence, in the little things.”

Pope Francis: “The Christian vocation is first and foremost a call to love, a love which attracts us and draws us out of ourselves.”

Pope Francis: “There are three things, three steps that take us away from Jesus: wealth, vanity, and pride.”
