Our world needs good and strong families.

Strong, Our World, Needs

Pope Francis' address on the family in the Philippines, w2.vatican.va. January 16, 2015.

Families will always have their trials; be living examples of love, forgiveness, and care

We become fully human when we become more than human, when we let God bring us beyond ourselves.

Letting Go, Humans

Pope Francis (2014). “The Joy of the Gospel”, p.6, BookBaby

I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them.

Christian, Jesus, Encounters

Pope Francis (2014). “The Joy of the Gospel”, p.5, BookBaby

When the Lord wants to give us a mission, wants to give us a task, He prepares us. He prepares us to do it well...What is important is the whole journey by which we arrive at the mission the Lord entrusts to us...when the Lord gives a mission, He always has us enter into a process, a process of purification, a process of discernment, a process of obedience, a process of prayer.

Prayer, Journey, Giving

In these cases, where there is an unjust aggression, I can only say that it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor. I emphasize the word: "stop". I'm not saying drop bombs, make war, but stop the aggressor. The means used to stop him would have to be evaluated.

War, Mean, Verbs

Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.

Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'

If evil is contagious, so is good:therefore, we must allow good to abound in us, more and more;let us be infected by goodness, and let us spread the good contagion.

The Cross isn't an ornament, mere symbol. It's the mystery of God's love, that He died for our sins.

It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians! Their blood is one and the same. Their blood confesses Christ.

"Coptic Patriarch Calls 21 Beheaded Christians 'Martyrs for the Faith;' Pope Francis Says 'Their Blood Confesses Christ'" by Stoyan Zaimov, www.christianpost.com. February 16, 2015.

...men and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the "culture of waste." If you break a computer it is a tragedy, but poverty, the needs, the dramas of so many people end up becoming the norm.

Drama, Men, Idols

"Pope Francis On World Environment Day Speaks Of Food Waste, Lack Of Attention To Needs Of Poor", www.huffingtonpost.com. June 5, 2013.

In your school you take part in various activities that habituate you not to shut yourselves in on yourselves or in your small world, but to be open to others, especially to the poorest and neediest, to work to improve the world in which we live. Be men and women with others and for others, real champions in the service of others. To be magnanimous with interior liberty and a spirit of service, spiritual formation is necessary. Dear children, dear youths, love Jesus Christ ever more!

Spiritual, Jesus, Children

Pope Francis during meeting with Students of Jesuit Schools, zenit.org. June 7, 2013.

People have to struggle to live and, frequently, to live in an undignified way. One cause of this situation, in my opinion, is in the our relationship with money, and our acceptance of its power over ourselves and our society.

Struggle, Acceptance, People

Pope Francis (2016). “Care for Creation: A Call for Ecological Conversion”, p.35, Orbis Books

The worldwide financial and economic crisis seems to highlight their distortions and above all the gravely deficient human perspective, which reduces man to one of his needs alone, namely, consumption. Worse yet, human beings themselves are nowadays considered as consumer goods which can be used and thrown away.

Men, Justice, Perspective

Pope Francis (2016). “Care for Creation: A Call for Ecological Conversion”, p.35, Orbis Books

The Pope appeals for disinterested solidarity and for a return to person-centred ethics in the world of finance and economics.

Justice, World, Return

"Pope Francis Is About to Blow Elizabeth Warren Out of the Water" by AJ Vicens, www.motherjones.com. September 15, 2015.

The Church encourages those in power to be truly at the service of the common good of their peoples. She urges financial leaders to take account of ethics and solidarity. And why should they not turn to God to draw inspiration from his designs? In this way, a new political and economic mindset would arise that would help to transform the absolute dichotomy between the economic and social spheres into a healthy symbiosis.

Inspiration, Justice, Design

Pope Francis (2016). “Care for Creation: A Call for Ecological Conversion”, p.36, Orbis Books

We must recover the whole sense of gift, of gratuitousness, of solidarity. Rampant capitalism has taught the logic of profit at all costs, of giving to get, of exploitation without looking at the person... and we see the results in the crisis we are experiencing! This Home is a place that teaches charity, a "school" of charity, which instructs me to go encounter every person, not for profit, but for love.

Home, School, Giving

I address a strong appeal from my heart that the dignity and safety of the worker always be protected.

Strong, Heart, Safety

Pope Francis @franciscus, www.instagram.com. April 28, 2016.

For her part, the Church always works for the integral development of every person. In this sense, she reiterates that the common good should not be simply an extra, simply a conceptual scheme of inferior quality tacked onto political programmes. The Church encourages those in power to be truly at the service of the common good of their peoples.

Political, Church, Quality

The human person is in danger: this is certain, the human person is in danger today, here is the urgency of human ecology! And it is a serious danger because the cause of the problem is not superficial but profound: it is not just a matter of economics, but of ethics and anthropology.

Profound, Matter, Today

...because with us what is highest must be at the service of others.

Charity, Highest

Pope Francis (2013). “I Ask You to Pray for Me: Opening a Horizon of Hope”, p.65, Paulist Press
