Pope Francis

I will give everything to the Church. I will not keep anything for myself. I will give everything to the Church. I will not keep anything for myself.

The greatest danger is not sin, but rather spiritual comfort, the temptation to live a comfortable life, a tranquil life, a life where everything is in order.

A shepherd must smell of his sheep.

Please, I ask you, be shepherds with the smell of sheep, be shepherds in the midst of your flock, fishers of men.

The devil enters through the pockets.

It’s true that I’m a bit of a daredevil, but I’m a bit of a daredevil because I’m old, and I don’t have much to lose.

I want to make a mess. I want trouble in the dioceses. I want us to get out of the comfort zone, out of the clericalism, out of the routine.

Do not be afraid of making mistakes. Do not be afraid of making noise. Do not be afraid of getting into trouble.

The Lord always forgives. We men forgive sometimes. Nature never forgives.

We are not living in an era of change, but a change of era.

Better to be an atheist than a hypocritical Christian.

Please, do not let yourselves be robbed of hope!

The greatest poverty is loneliness.

The worship of the golden calf has returned.

Globalization has made us neighbors, but not brothers.

Rigidity is not a gift from God; it is a human thing.

The Lord is not a GPS. He is not a program. He is a person.

Be careful, the devil also knocks at the door. He knocks at the door of your heart. He knocks at the door of your mind. He knocks at the door of your soul.

The Church is not an NGO, it is not an organization that has to do things. The Church is the family of God.

We must not be afraid to be a bit messy, to be a bit untidy. The Church should not be a neat and tidy thing.
