POPE FRANCIS MOST FAMOUS QUOTES

Here are 23 quotes from Pope Francis, known for his inspirational messages and social justice advocacy:

“The poverty of the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.”

“We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a self-referential Church. It’s true that when we live our faith in our homes, at work, and in society, we shine forth as true Christians.”

“A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern.”

“Money has to serve, not to rule. We have created new idols. The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal.”

“Let us not remain indifferent before abuses, injustices, and anti-Christian values.”

“Each individual Christian and every community is called to be an instrument of God for the liberation and promotion of the poor, and for enabling them to be fully a part of society.”

“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or secondary aspect of our Christian experience.”

“Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instils in us the courage to look to the future with hope.”

“If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?”

“Inequality is the root of social evil.”

“The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need.”

“Do we truly live as believers? Do we turn to God only in moments of joy and crisis?” THINGS WILL GET BETTER SOON QUOTES

“To change the world, we must be good to those who cannot repay us.”

“To change the world, we must be at the margins, at the side of the wounded.”

“The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world, and this is a scandal: poverty in the world. But there’s a scandal closer to home. It’s almost touching. It’s right under our nose!”

“Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope!”

“We cannot be part-time Christians!”

“Anyone who thinks evil can be defeated by tearing down altars is naïve.”

“Never tire of working towards a more just world, marked by greater solidarity!”

“Prayer is all powerful. Through prayer, everything can be obtained.”

“The world tells us to seek success, power, and money. But the Gospel tells us to seek humility, service, and love.”

“True power is service.”
