Pope Francis Light Quotations

Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.

From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.

We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.

If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.

Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey.

Let us ask the Lord for this grace: that our hearts become free and filled with light, so that we can rejoice as children of God.

We need to build up society in the light of the Beatitudes, walking towards the Kingdom with the least among us.

Yet only when we come to understand, in the light of the Cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance.

And with a little sense of humor we can say that there are Christian bats who prefer the shadows to the light of the presence of the Lord.

The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.

Where there is truth, there is also light, but don't confuse light with the flash.

The Family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, it is the leaven of society.

Jesus is not a figure from the past: He continues now and always to light the way for us.

Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.

Advent is a journey towards Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn by the light of God made man.

This is the mission of every Christian: lumina pandit - to spread the light and to tell the world of God's love.

Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others.

Do not be afraid! Our Father is patient, he loves us, he gives us Jesus to guide us on the way which leads to the promised land. Jesus is the light who brightens the darkness. He is our peace.

Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects, but often human beings themselves, who are discarded as 'unnecessary.' For example, it is frightful even to think there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day; children being used as soldiers, abused and killed in armed conflicts; and children being bought and sold in that terrible form of modern slavery which is human trafficking, which is a crime against humanity.

It is horrific even to think that there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day
