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.
A friendship with a woman is not a sin. (It's) a friendship. A romantic relationship with a woman who is not your wife, that is a sin.
The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
The Cross isn't an ornament, mere symbol. It's the mystery of God's love, that He died for our sins.
We are all sinners. We are called to a conversion of heart
It's not a problem that we're sinners; it's a problem that we aren't ashamed of our sin and don't seek forgiveness.
Because ALWAYS, even in the darkest moments, in moments of sin, in moments of weakness, in moments of failure, I have seen Jesus, and I trusted Him... He has not left me alone.
At times we are slaves of sin. Lord, come to free us!
Despite our sins, we can say with Peter: Lord, you know everything, you know that I love you.
There is no sin that God cannot pardon. All we need to do is ask for forgiveness
It is a mortal sin to discard the elderly.
Whoever says he is without sin is a liar or is blind.
Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.
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.
