Pope Francis

A good laugh is good for the soul.

If a Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. The Lord is not there. The Lord is in the journey, in the open field, in the constant newness of the journey.

I’ll tell you something. I don’t watch television. It’s been 25 years since I’ve watched television. It's not a vow, but I decided it on a certain moment when I felt that it didn't do me any good.

The greatest danger is spiritual worldliness.

A little bit of humor helps us to carry on.

The world needs more tenderness.

Don't forget to pray for me. I need it. Seriously.

I don't have a plan. I don't have a program. I don't have anything. I'm just trying to be a good shepherd.

The world is full of wars, but the greatest war is the war of indifference.

A pastor who does not pray is a pastor who is in danger.

I am not a Hollywood star.

Always remember that the best way to win a war is to avoid it.

The Church is not a supermarket.

Mercy is not a beautiful idea, it is a concrete reality.

To be a Christian is not a burden, but a gift.

The culture of waste has made us insensitive to waste and to the disposed of.

I am a sinner, I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.

Always keep in mind that the Church is not a museum of saints, but a hospital for sinners.

It hurts me when I see priests or nuns with the latest model car. You can’t do this.

Don’t forget the smile. The smile is important.
