Pope Francis Quotes

If in prayer I come before a throne of grace, the faults of my prayer will be overlooked.

Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.

No one can be saved - in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved - in virtue of what God can do.

Suffer little children and come unto me.

Jesus, Son of the Eternal God, have mercy on me.

The Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.

Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.

I'm telling you, God loves a lot of people.

I see in Jesus matchless charms. I see in Him everything to be desired by the children of men.

Sometimes I think Jesus can't wait until we preachers finish our boring sermons. He can't wait to heal people.

Let us never forget this, he is pure mercy, let us go to Jesus!

I am fallen, flawed and imperfect. Yet drenched in the grace and mercy that is found in Jesus Christ, there is strength

Lord! Thou art with Thy people still; they see Thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as Thou talkest with them by the way. And Thou art near to those that have not known Thee; open their eyes that they may see Thee--see Thee weeping over them, and saying, "Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life"--see Thee hanging on the cross and saying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"--see Thee as Thou wilt come again in Thy glory to judge them at the last. Amen.

Being A Christian doesn't mean I won't fall... It means Jesus will catch me, when I do.

I live by the mercy of Jesus, to whom I owe everything and from whom I expect everything.

The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!

Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.

But they all stood beneath the cross, enemies and believers, doubters and cowards, revilers and devoted followers. His prayer, in that hour, and his forgiveness, was meant for them all, and for all their sins. The mercy and love of God are at work even in the midst of his enemies. It is the same Jesus Christ, who of his grace calls us to follow him, and whose grace saves the murderer who mocks him on the cross in his last hour.

May poetry and God's name have mercy on us!

Father God, we just ask You to open Your wide, wide arms and look down upon us, Lord, and lead us, and let us know what we should do to stop this, this terrible, terrible holocaust.

I just want people to know out there no matter what they've done, God doesn't judge us on how many sins. God is there for us. He loves us. He wants us to turn it over to Him.

I owe it all to Jesus.

We all need God in certain ways, you know. And I certainly fall short in a lot of categories. And it's at those times that I need much more help than most.

Christian faith is... basically about love and being loved and reconciliation. These things are so important, they're foundational and they can transform individuals, families.

I see so many people. They just seem to be hopeless. Being a Christian and being a pastor, the ultimate hope is in Jesus.
