Pope Francis in His Own Words

About this book

Insights from a beloved spiritual leader on everything from forgiveness and faith to mercy and money, from prayer and parenting to tango and soccer The moment the identity of the newly elected 266th pontiff was revealed, it was clear to the thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square, and to the watching world, that this pope was different in fascinating and exciting ways — the first from Latin America, the first Jesuit, and the first to take the name Francis, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Pope Francis repeatedly eschewed the fancy dress, lavish accommodations, and other luxuries of his position, emphasizing pastoral work with the sick and the poor and always seeking to empower the underdog. This revealing collection of his own words, gathered from early sermons, interviews, and the Pope's books, prompts understanding and insight into his way of being and believing — and inspires goodwill, love, and hope.

On Age and Aging
Old age, they say, is the seat of wisdom. The old ones have the wisdom that they have earned from walking through life, like old Simeon and Anna at the temple, whose wisdom allowed them to recognize Jesus. Let us give with wisdom to the youth: like good wine that improves with age, let us give the youth the wisdom of our lives.
Address to Cardinals, 15 March 2013
The old person is the transmitter of history, he who brings us memories, the memory of our people, of our country, of our family, culture, and religion … .He has lived a long time, and even if he’s done so as a fool, he deserves serious consideration.
Sobre el Cielo y la Tierra, 2010
The bitterness of the old person is worse than any other because it is without return.

On Argentina
Is it true that Argentinians don’t want to dialogue? I wouldn’t put it that way. Rather, I think we’ve become victims of attitudes that don’t permit us to dialogue: arrogance, the inability to listen, an exasperation with language … and so many others.
Sobre el Cielo y la Tierra, 2010
Our painful political history has all too often courted silence. The use of euphemisms has often anesthetized us.
Homily, Easter 2008
Argentina has arrived at a moment of critical decision making … the decision to continue as a country, to learn from its painful experiences of the past and initiate a new path, or to drown in misery, chaos, the loss of values, and decomposition as a society.
Annual Message to Educational Communities, Easter 2002
I dare to say it still: we Argentinians have a long history of mutual intolerance.
Homily, Easter 2005
We live in the most unequal part of the world, which has grown the most, yet reduced misery the least. The unjust distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries out to heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our brothers.
Address, CELAM conference, 21 May 2007
On Argentina’s Dirty War
In the Church, there were Christians from [all] camps: Christians who died as guerrillas, Christians who helped save people, and Christian oppressors who believed they were saving the homeland.
Sobre el Cielo y la Tierra, 2010
We believe that the steps taken by the justice system in clarifying these events must serve to renew the efforts of all citizens toward reconcili...
