Pope Francis Grace Quotations

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

Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to live daily according to the mind of Jesus and his Gospel.

Only we big sinners have this grace of knowing what salvation really means.

Be dispensers of God's grace, not controllers. Don't be the Holy Spirit's customs agents,

Let us go back to the Lord. The Lord never tires of forgiving: never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness. Let us ask for the grace not to tire of asking forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving.

Forgiveness is not a result of our efforts, but is a gift. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit who showers us with mercy and grace that pours forth unceasingly from the open heart of Christ crucified and risen.

The fruits of this profound union with Jesus are marvelous: our whole being is transformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit: soul, intelligence, will, affections and even the body, because we are united in body and spirit.

We are all sinners. But God heals us with an abundance of grace, mercy and tenderness

Lent is a time of grace, a time to convert and live out our baptism fully.

I would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.

We Christians bring peace and grace as a treasure to be offered to the world, but these gifts can bear fruit only when Christians live and work together in harmony. This makes it easier to contribute to building relations of respect and peaceful coexistence with those who belong to other religious traditions, and with non-believers.

Our Mother Mary is full of beauty because she is full of grace.

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

If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.

Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!

We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.

True peace is not a balance of opposing forces, and it is not ‘a lovely façade’ simply covering conflicts and divisions. Rather, peace calls for daily commitment -- it's homemade -- starting from God's gift, from the grace which he has given us in Jesus Christ.
