... this task entrusted to us by God the Creator requires us to grasp the rhythm and logic of creation. But we are often driven by pride of domination, of possessions, manipulation, of exploitation; we do not "care" for it, we do not respect it, we do not consider it as a free gift that we must care for.

Pride, Free Gifts, Tasks

Are our lives truly filled with the presence of God? How many things take the place of God in my life each day?

Each Day, Filled, Presence Of God

God's love is unbounded. It has no limits.

Human trafficking is an open wound on the body of contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Christ. It is a crime against humanity.

Humanity, Body, Christ

Address of Pope Francis to participants in the International Conference on Combating Human Trafficking, w2.vatican.va. April 10, 2014.

Whoever says he is without sin is a liar or is blind.

Liars, Sin, Blind

This visit is meant to express my closeness to our brothers and sisters who endured the suffering, loss and devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda. Together with many people throughout the world, I have admired the heroic strength, faith and resilience demonstrated by so many Filipinos in the face of this natural disaster, and so many others.

Brother, Loss, People

When Jesus stepped into the waters of the Jordan and was baptized by John the Baptist, he did so not because he was in need of repentance, or conversion: he did it to be among people who need forgiveness, among us sinners, and to take upon himself the burden of our sins.

Jesus, People, Water

The Bishops of the Philippines have asked that this year be set aside as the ‘Year of the Poor.’ I hope that this prophetic summons will challenge everyone, at all levels of society, to reject every form of corruption which diverts resources from the poor, and to make concerted efforts to ensure the inclusion of every man and woman and child in the life of the community.

Children, Men, Years

We proclaim the resurrection of Christ when his light illuminates the dark moments of our existence, and we are able share it with others

Dark, Light, Able

Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “disposable” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”.

Mean, Culture, Leftovers

"Pope Francis: Capitalism is 'a new tyranny'" by Katie Mcdonough, www.salon.com. November 26, 2013.

Just as the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills. How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?

Elderly, Order, Two

It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall; you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.

Soccer, Fall, Land

Sunday, Lord

Be sanctuaries of respect for life, proclaiming the sacredness of every human life from conception to natural death

Sanctuary, Natural, Human Life

Pope Francis “The Blessing of Family: Inspiring Words from Pope Francis”, Franciscan Media

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.

Beautiful, Firsts, Salvation

Pope Francis (2015). “Encountering Truth: Meeting God in the Everyday”, p.18, Image

Worshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing-not only by our words- that he alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.

Believe, Mean, Giving

Pope Francis (2017). “Embracing the Way of Jesus: Reflections from Pope Francis on Living Our Faith”, p.34, Loyola Press

God is not afraid of new things.

Not Afraid, New Things

" When it comes to ordination, Pope Francis is still a puppet of the church" by Kristina Keneally, www.theguardian.com. December 11, 2016.

They (the consecrated) are men and woman who can awaken the world. Consecrated life is prophecy. God asks us to fly the nest and to be sent to the frontiers of the world, avoiding the temptation to 'domesticate' them. This is the most concrete way of imitating the Lord.

Men, Temptation, World

We can observe the Fourth Commandment by loving visits to our aging grandparents

Grandparent, Aging, Fourth

The cross of Christ, embraced with love, never brings sadness with it, but joy, the joy of being saved and of doing a little of what he did on the day of his death.

Sadness, Joy, Littles

In God’s great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. There are the saints of every day, the “hidden” saints, a sort of “middle class of holiness” to which we can all belong.

Humble, Class, Work Relationships

Pope Francis (2016). “The Joy of Discipleship: Reflections from Pope Francis on Walking with Christ”, p.85, Loyola Press

To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus

Jesus, Mean, Ambassadors

Poverty calls us to sow hope.... Poverty is the flesh of the poor Jesus, in that child who is hungry, in the one who is sick, in those unjust social structures.

Jesus, Children, Sick
