When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope Francis

The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord’s mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Buddha
-
An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.
Pope John Paul II
-
Of those beings who live in ignorance, shut up and confined, as it were, in an egg, I have first broken the eggshell of ignorance and alone in the universe obtained the most exalted, universal hood.
Buddha
-
What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What’s the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
Buddha
-
Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.

I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I’m here.
Pope Francis
-
I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
Jesus Christ
-
The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!
Pope Francis
