Pope Francis Homilies

“Money is the enemy of harmony; money is selfish.”

“Mary’s ‘yes’ opens the door to Jesus’ ‘yes’: I have come to do your will, this is the ‘yes’ that Jesus carries with him throughout his life, until the cross.”

‘Two gestures…Jesus washes feet, Judas sold Jesus for money.’

Even “at the height of His annihilation, He reveals the true face of God, which is mercy.”

Pope Francis called on bishops to really look at the faithful—not obliquely, but looking them in the eye, so they can see them with the heart.

There is something like a “thread of hope” that joins “the whole story of salvation” and is a “font of joy.”

“Why does a child suffer? I do not know: it is a mystery to me.”

“We ask the Lord for the grace of fidelity. And the first step on this path towards fidelity is to admit you are a sinner.”

“When God forgives, his forgiveness is so great that it is as though God forgets.”

God’s salvation does not come from great things, from power or wealth, nor from clerical or political parties, but from the small and simple things of God.
