The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?

The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?

Listen to Jesus and follow him. That's the message of the Transfiguration.

Jesus, Messages, Transfiguration

If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

Humble, Mean, People

"A Big Heart Open to God: An interview with Pope Francis". Interview with Antonio Spadaro, S.J., www.americamagazine.org. September 30, 2013.

We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.

Christian, Part Time, Our Lives

Our prayer cannot be reduced to an hour on Sundays. It is important to have a daily relationship with the Lord.

No elderly person should be like an “exile” in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.

Elderly, Treasure, Our Society

Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.

Powerful, Love Life, Love Is

Pope Francis (2015). “The Spirit of St Francis: Inspiring Words on Faith, Love and Creation”, p.145, SPCK

It occurs to me: why is it mainly women, who to pass on the faith? Simply because the one who brought us Jesus is a woman. It is the path chosen by Jesus. He wanted to have a mother: the gift of faith comes to us through women, as Jesus came to us through Mary.

Mother, Jesus, Path

If there is no humility, love remains blocked.

Humility, Blocked, Remains

A Christian is never bored or sad. Rather, the one who loves Christ is full of joy and radiates joy.

Christian, Bored, Joy

Say no to an ephemeral, superficial and throwaway culture, a culture that assumes that you are incapable of taking on responsibility and facing the great challenges of life!

Responsibility, Challenges, Culture

Pope Francis (2017). “Happiness in This Life: A Passionate Meditation on Earthly Existence”, p.20, Random House

It is God who gives life. Let us respect and love human life, especially vulnerable life in a mother's womb.

Mother, Giving, And Love

There is an ideological colonization we have to be careful of that tries to destroy the family.

Trying, Colonization, Be Careful

Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.

People, Dignity, Priceless

"Pope urges Catholic doctors to refuse abortions" by Associated Press, www.theguardian.com. September 20, 2013.

Two, Lord, Masters

We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.

Clay, Treasure, Jars

There are saints in the Roman Curia, among the cardinals, priests, religious, sisters and laity. They work hard, and also do things that are often hidden. I know some who concern themselves with feeding the poor or who give up their free time to work in a parish. As always, the ones who aren't saints make the most noise ... a single tree falling makes a sound, but a whole forest growing doesn't.

Religious, Giving Up, Fall

The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information. The latter is a tendency which our important and influential modern communications media can encourage. Information is important, but it is not enough. All too often things get simplified, different positions and viewpoints are pitted against one another, and people are invited to take sides, rather than to see things as a whole.

Communication, Media, People

Pope Francis' Message For The 49th World Communications Day, w2.vatican.va. January 23, 2015.

Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.

Unstoppable
