Pope Francis Essentials Quotations

Trade unions have been an essential force for social change, without which a semblance of a decent and humane society is impossible under capitalism.

The proclamation of the Gospel is destined primarily to the poor, to those who often lack the essentials for a decent life. The good news is first announced to them, that God loves them before all others and comes to visit them through the acts of charity that the disciples of Christ carry out in his name.

It is important to have friends we can trust. But it is essential to trust the Lord, who never lets us down.

The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.

How I wish everyone had decent work! It is essential for human dignity.

Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.
