We learn many virtues in our Christian families. Above all, we learn to love, asking nothing in return.
You may be asking yourselves, 'Who is this man standing before us?' i would like to reply to that question with something absolutely certain about my own life: The man standing before you is a man who has been forgiven. A man who was, and is, saved from his many sins.
Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.
Let's not forget that God never gets tired of forgiving so let's never get tired of asking for forgiveness,
Let us go back to the Lord. The Lord never tires of forgiving: never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness. Let us ask for the grace not to tire of asking forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving.
If we learn to say we're sorry and ask forgiveness, the marriage will last.
The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
There is no sin that God cannot pardon. All we need to do is ask for forgiveness
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Abortion isn't a lesser evil, it's a crime. Taking one life to save another, that's what the Mafia does. It's a crime. It's an absolute evil.
To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.
This is me, a sinner on whom the Lord has turned his gaze. And this is what I said when they asked me if I would accept my election as pontiff. I am a sinner, but I trust in the infinite mercy and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I accept in a spirit of penance.
