In the face of so many wounds that hurt us and could lead to a hardness of heart, we are called to dive into the sea of prayer, which is the sea of the boundless love of God, in order to experience his tenderness

The search for God means having the courage to set out on a risky path, it means following our restless hearts.

Heart, Mean, Path

The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.

Heart, World, Today

Pope Francis (2015). “The Spirit of St Francis: Inspiring Words on Faith, Love and Creation”, p.92, SPCK

Essential to the attainment of these national goals is the moral imperative of ensuring social justice and respect for human dignity. The great biblical tradition enjoins on all peoples the duty to hear the voice of the poor. It bids us to break the bonds of injustice and oppression which give rise to glaring, and indeed, scandalous social inequalities. Reforming the social structures which perpetuate poverty and the exclusion of the poor first requires a conversion of mind and heart.

Heart, Biblical, Voice

Let us pause before the Child of Bethlehem. Let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God; we need his caress. God is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by God's goodness.

"Urbi et Orbi (To the City and the World)". Pope Francis' Christmas Day message address from the Vatican, www.huffingtonpost.com. December 25, 2013.

Gossip can also kill, because it kills the reputation of the person! It is so terrible to gossip! At first it may seem like a nice thing, even amusing, like enjoying a candy. But in the end, it fills the heart with bitterness, and even poisons us.

Nice, Heart, Gossip

Pope Francis (2016). “The Infinite Tenderness of God: Meditations on the Gospels”, p.39, The Word Among Us Press

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.

Giving Up, Heart, Forgiving

Pope Francis (2015). “The Spirit of St Francis: Inspiring Words on Faith, Love and Creation”, p.31, SPCK

So many of you have lost everything. I do not know what to tell you. But surely he knows what to tell you! So many of you have lost members of your family. I can only be silent; I accompany you silently, with my heart...

Heart, Silence, Doe

Pope Francis' Homily at Mass in Tacloban City, w2.vatican.va. January 17, 2015.

This may sound like heresy, but it is the greatest truth! It is more difficult to let God love us, than to love Him! The best way to love Him in return is to open our hearts and let Him love us. Let Him draw close to us and feel Him close to us. This is really very difficult: letting ourselves be loved by Him. And that is perhaps what we need to ask today in the Mass: 'Lord, I want to love You, but teach me the difficult science, the difficult habit of letting myself be loved by You, to feel You close and feel Your tenderness ! May the Lord give us this grace.

Letting Go, Love You, Heart

Faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words & through love.

Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.

Pope Francis's Mass Of The Lord's Supper at Prison for Minors "Casal del Marmo", Rome, w2.vatican.va. March 28, 2013.

Let us encourage the generosity which is typical of the young and help them to work actively in building a better world. Youth do not solely need material things. Above all, they need to have those non-material values which are the spiritual heart of a people ... spirituality, generosity, solidarity, perseverance, fraternity, and joy.

Spiritual, Perseverance, Heart

Let us not grow tired of knocking at God's door. Let us go to the heart of God through Mary, our whole life, every day, knocking at the door of God's heart! Mary prays - prays together with the community of disciples, and teaches us to have full faith in God, in his mercy. This is the power of prayer!

Prayer, Tired, Heart

The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness, and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew.

Jesus, Loneliness, Heart

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

If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.

Heart, Light, Joy

Pope Francis (2015). “The Spirit of St Francis: Inspiring Words on Faith, Love and Creation”, p.88, SPCK

When we are generous in welcoming people and sharing something with them-some food, a place in our homes, our time-not only do we no longer remain poor: we are enriched. I am well aware that when someone needing food knocks at your door, you always find a way of sharing food; as the proverb says, one can always 'add more water to the beans'! Is it possible to add more water to the beans?...Always?...And you do so with love, demonstrating that true riches consist not in materials things, but in the heart!

Home, Heart, Doors

Pope Francis (2017). “The Works of Mercy”, p.53, Orbis Books

To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.

Jesus, Heart, Mean

The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.

Jesus, Heart, Joy

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

Today too, as at her origins, the Church... cries out:“Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love!” Amen.

Heart, Fire, Faithful

In Confession, Jesus welcomes us with all our sinfulness, to give us a new heart, capable of loving as he loves.

Jesus, Heart, Giving

There is another important point: encountering the poor. If we step outside ourselves we find poverty. Today-it sickens the heart to say so-the discovery of a tramp who has died of the cold is not news. Today what counts as news is, maybe, a scandal. A scandal: ah, that is news! Today, the thought that a great many children do not have food to eat is not news. This is serious, this is serious! We cannot put up with this! Yet that is how things are. We cannot become starched Christians, those over-educated Christians who speak of theological matters as they calmly sip their tea.

Pope Francis (2016). “The Joy of Discipleship: Reflections from Pope Francis on Walking with Christ”, p.21, Loyola Press

Let us allow God to fill our hearts with his goodness and mercy.

Heart, Mercy, Goodness

Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.

Children, Heart, Blessing
