A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider the person.
Pope Francis
-
Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn’t mean we have to wash each other’s feet every day, but we must help one another.
Pope Francis
-
Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
Pope Francis
-
Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.
Jesus Christ

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.
Pope Francis
-
The foolish man conceives the idea of ‘self.’ The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of ‘self;’ thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.
Buddha

I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
-
A beautiful homily, a genuine sermon, must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation. There is nothing more solid, deep and sure than this proclamation.
Pope Francis
-
Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.
Pope Francis
-
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
Buddha
