Homélie à l'occasion de la messe des Rameaux du 24 mars 2013
„Le livre de la Genèse rapporte que Dieu créa l’homme et la femme en leur confiant la tâche d’emplir la terre et de la soumettre, ce qui ne signifie pas l’exploiter, mais la cultiver et la préserver, en prendre soin à travers son travail.“
Il libro della Genesi narra che Dio creò l’uomo e la donna affidando loro il compito di riempire la terra e soggiogarla, che non significa sfruttarla, ma coltivarla e custodirla, averne cura con la propria opera.

Audience générale du 1er mai 2013
„Dans les Évangiles, saint Joseph apparaît comme un homme fort, courageux, travailleur, mais dans son âme émerge une grande tendresse, qui n’est pas la vertu du faible, mais au contraire, dénote une force d’âme et une capacité d’attention, de compassion, de vraie ouverture à l’autre, d’amour. Nous ne devons pas avoir peur de la bonté, de la tendresse!“
Messe solennelle d'inauguration du pontificat, mardi 19 mars 2013
„Celui qui ne prie par le Seigneur Jésus-Christ, prie le diable.“
Discours du pape François lors de la première messe de son pontificat, le 15 mars 2013.
„Jésus n’a pas besoin d’une armée pour chasser les démons, il n’a pas besoin de l’arrogance, ni de la force, ni de l’orgueil. Où se trouve Jésus, il y a toujours l’humilité, et l’amour.“
Homélie du pape François durant la messe en la chapelle de la Maison Sainte Marthe au Vatican.
„Reconnaissons que Dieu n’est pas quelque chose de vague, notre Dieu n’est pas un Dieu en spray, il est concret et non pas abstrait. Il a d’ailleurs un nom : Dieu est amour.“
Il nostro Dio non è un Dio « spray », è concreto, non è un astratto, ma ha un nome: ‘Dio è amore’.

„… exclude the need for appearances: what counts is not appearances; the value of life does not depend on the approval of others or on success, but on what we have inside us.“
As quoted in "Imposition of the Ashes - Homily of pope Francis" at www.vatican.va (5 March 2014) http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/homilies/2014/documents/papa-francesco_20140305_omelia-ceneri_en.html

„Jesus’ reminder urges each of us never to stop at the surface of things, especially when we have a person before us. We are called to look beyond, to focus on the heart in order to see how much generosity everyone is capable of.“
2010s, 2015, Announcement of the Jubilee of Mercy
Contexte: Jesus’ reminder urges each of us never to stop at the surface of things, especially when we have a person before us. We are called to look beyond, to focus on the heart in order to see how much generosity everyone is capable of. No one can be excluded from the mercy of God; everyone knows the way to access it and the Church is the house where everyone is welcomed and no one is rejected. Her doors remain wide open, so that those who are touched by grace may find the assurance of forgiveness. The greater the sin, the greater the love that must be shown by the Church to those who repent. With how much love Jesus looks at us! With how much love He heals our sinful heart! Our sins never scare Him.
„Ignatius, for understandable reasons, is the saint I know better than any other. He founded our Order.“
2010s, 2013, Interview in La Repubblica
Contexte: [[Mystics have been fundamental to the church. A religion without mystics is a philosophy. ]] Ignatius, for understandable reasons, is the saint I know better than any other. He founded our Order. I'd like to remind you that Carlo Maria Martini also came from that order, someone who is very dear to me and also to you. Jesuits were and still are the leavening not the only one but perhaps the most effective — of Catholicism: culture, teaching, missionary work, loyalty to the Pope. But Ignatius who founded the Society, was also a reformer and a mystic. Especially a mystic.
„Not only does each person have the freedom and the right to say what they think for the common good, they have a duty to do so.“
Statements on his official plane traveling from Sri Lanka to the Philippines, reported in "Pope Francis: 'You cannot make fun of the faith of others (15 January 2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSV-GD9gA-U
2010s, 2015
Contexte: Not only does each person have the freedom and the right to say what they think for the common good, they have a duty to do so. Because while it is true that is wrong to react with violence, If my good friend Mr Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch in the nose. … It's normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. … There are so many people who speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make a game out of the religions of others. They are provocateurs. And what happens to them is what would happen to Mr Gasparri if he says a curse word against my mother. There is a limit. … One cannot make war… kill in the name of one’s own religion, that is, in the name of God.
„God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.“
As quoted in "Leading Atheist: Pope Francis “Is The Kind Of World Leader We Need”" http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/pope-smiles-on-godless by Joe Keohane, at Esquire (12 September 2013)]
2010s, 2013
Contexte: You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying — and this is the fundamental thing — that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
„I believe in God, not in a Catholic God, there is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation.“
2010s, 2013, Interview in La Repubblica
Contexte: I believe in God, not in a Catholic God, there is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
„This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the Good“
2010s, 2013, Interview in La Repubblica
Contexte: Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us. Sometimes after a meeting I want to arrange another one because new ideas are born and I discover new needs. This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the Good.
„He is the most shining example of that agape we talked about earlier.“
2010s, 2013, Interview in La Repubblica
Contexte: [St. Francis] is great because he is everything. He is a man who wants to do things, wants to build, he founded an order and its rules, he is an itinerant and a missionary, a poet and a prophet, he is mystical. He found evil in himself and rooted it out. He loved nature, animals, the blade of grass on the lawn and the birds flying in the sky. But above all he loved people, children, old people, women. He is the most shining example of that agape we talked about earlier.
„I say that politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion.“
Political institutions are secular by definition and operate in independent spheres. All my predecessors have said the same thing, for many years at least, albeit with different accents. I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.

„The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil. All of us.“
As quoted in "Pope at Mass: Culture of encounter is the foundation of peace" at Vatican Radio (22 May 2013) http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/05/22/pope_at_mass:_culture_of_encounter_is_the_foundation_of_peace/en1-694445
2010s, 2013
Contexte: The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil. All of us. "But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good." Yes, he can. He must. Not can: must! Because he has this commandment within him. Instead, this "closing off" that imagines that those outside, everyone, cannot do good is a wall that leads to war and also to what some people throughout history have conceived of: killing in the name of God. That we can kill in the name of God. And that, simply, is blasphemy. To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.
