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.
Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.
He who doesn't pray to the Lord prays to the devil.
We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.
At times we are slaves of sin. Lord, come to free us!
In the face of life’s difficulties, let us ask the Lord for the strength to remain joyful witnesses to our faith.
Despite our sins, we can say with Peter: Lord, you know everything, you know that I love you.
If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
May the Lord bless the family and strengthen it in this moment of crisis
The cross is the price of true love. Lord, give us the strength to accept and carry our crosses!
War destroys, kills, impoverishes. Lord, give us your peace!
It is important to have friends we can trust. But it is essential to trust the Lord, who never lets us down.
