99 things Pope Francis said in thePhilippines

On the poor and marginalized

1. "The great biblical tradition enjoins on all peoples the duty to hear the

voice of the poor. It bids us break the bonds of injustice and oppression which

give rise to glaring, and indeed scandalous, social inequalities.

2. "The Bishops of the Philippines have asked that this year be set aside as the

Year of the Poor.

3. To the clergy and religious, Pope Francis said: I ask you to bring my affection to

all your elderly and infirm brothers and sisters, and to all those who cannot join

us today.

4. The pope also said, the hierarchy of the church and religious organizations "are

called to build bridges, to pasture Christ's flock, and to prepare fresh paths for

the Gospel in Asia at the dawn of a new age.

5. There is a worldly compassion which is useless. You expressed something like

this. Its a compassion that makes us put our hands in our pockets and give

something to the poor. But if Christ had had that kind of compassion he would

have greeted a couple of people, given them something, and walked on. But it

was only when he was able to cry that he understood something of our lives.

6. "Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears. I invite

each one here to ask yourself: have I learned how to weep? Have I learned how

to weep for the [marginalized] or for a street child who has a drug problem or for

an abused child? Unfortunately there are those who cry because they want

something else.

7. "If you dont learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. This is a

challenge. When they posed this question to us, why children suffer, why this or

that tragedy occurs in life our response must be either silence or a word that

is born of our tears. Be courageous, dont be afraid to cry.


2/21

8. This is what helps you mature in your commitment to give to others: Learn how

to open your hand from your very own poverty

9. "There is the challenge for the poor, to love the poor, with your bishops. Do you

think of the poor? Do you feel with the poor? Do you do something for the

poor? Do you ask the poor to give you the wisdom they have?

10. "We need to see each child as a gift to be welcomed, cherished and protected.

And we need to care for our young people, not allowing them to be robbed of

hope and condemned to life on the streets.

On Lifestyles

11. "[Reconciling grace into hearts means] rejecting worldly perspectives and

seeing all things anew in the light of Christ.

12. "The great danger to [the will of God] is a certain materialism which can

creep into our lives and compromise the witness we offer.

13. "Today, with so many means of communication we are overloaded withinformation. Is that bad? No. It is good and can help. But there is a real

danger of living in a way that we accumulate information.

14. "We have so much information but maybe we dont know what to do with that

information. So we run the risk of becoming museums of young people who

have everything but not knowing what to do with it. We dont need young

museums but we do need holy young people.

15. "You may ask me: Father, how do we become saints? This is another

challenge. It is the challenge of love. What is the most important subject you

have to lean at university? What is most important subject you have to learn in

life? To learn how to love. This is the challenge that life offers you: to learn bow

to love. Not just to accumulate information without knowing what to do with it..

But through that love let that information bear fruit.

16. "For this the Gospel offers us a serene way forward: using the three languages

of the mind, heart and hands and to use them in harmony. What you think,


3/21

you must feel and put into effect. Your information comes down to your heart

and you put it into practice.

17. "Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we

be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.

18. "All answers on computers - but no surprises. The challenge of love. God

reveals himself through surprises.

19. The pope said that honest, integrity and the Gospel have to effect change "in a

society which has grown comfortable with social exclusion, polarization and

scandalous inequality.

20. Faith does not remove us from the world, but draws us more deeply into it. Eachof us, in fact, has a special role in preparing for the coming of God's kingdom in

our world.

21. "[Sexuality, marriage and the family] realities are increasingly under attack from

powerful forces which threaten to disfigure God's plan for creation and betray

the very values which have inspired and shaped all that is best in your culture.

22. "You must make time each day for prayer. But you may say to me: Holy Father,I want to pray, but there is so much work to do! I must care for my children; I

have chores in the home; I am too tired even to sleep well. This may be true,

but if we do not pray, we will not know the most important thing of all: God's will

for us. And for all our activity, our busy-ness, without prayer we will accomplish

very little."

23. "While all too many people live in dire poverty, others are caught up in

materialism and lifestyles which are destructive of family life and the most basicdemands of Christian morality."

24. "The devil is the father of lies. Often he hides his snares behind the

appearance of sophistication, the allure of being "modern, 'like everyone else'."

25. "[The devil] distracts us with the promise of ephemeral pleasures, superficial

pastimes. And so we squander our God-given gifts by tinkering with gadgets; we

squander our money on gambling and drink; we turn in on ourselves."

26. "We forget to remain focused on the things that really matter.


4/21

On leadership

27. "It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for

honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good. In this way they will help

preserve the rich human and natural resources with which God has blessed this

country. "

28. Pope Francis wished that political leaders be able to "marshall the moral

resources needed to face the demands of the present, and to pass on to coming

generations a society of authentic justice, solidarity and peace.

29. "Essential to the attainment of ... national goals is the moral imperative of

ensuring social justice and respect for human dignity.

30.Reforming the social structures which perpetuate poverty and the exclusion of

the poor first requires a conversion of mind and heart.

31. "We know how difficult it is for our democracies today to preserve and defend

such basic human values as respect for the inviolable dignity of each human

person, respect for the rights of conscience and religious freedom, and respect for

the inalienable right to life, beginning with that of the unborn and extending to that

of the elderly and infirm."

32. "Families and local communities must be encouraged and assisted in their

efforts to transmit to our young the values and the vision which can help bring abouta culture of integrity one which honors goodness, truthfulness, fidelity and

solidarity as the firm foundation and the moral glue which holds society together."

33. "May the deepest spiritual values of the Filipino people continue to find

expression in your efforts to provide your fellow citizens with an integral human

development. In this way, each person will be able to fulfill his or her potential, and

thus contribute wisely and well to the future of this country."

34. "The economic situation has caused families to be separated by migration andthe search for employment, and financial problems strain many households.

On Christian life

35. "Like Saint Therese, in the variety of our vocations, each of us is called, in

some way, to be love in the heart of the Church.

36. The Gospel calls individual Christians to live lives of honesty, integrity and

concern for the common good.


5/21

37. "[The Gospel] calls Christian communities to create 'circles of integrity',

networks of solidarity which can expand to embrace and transform society by their

prophetic witness.

38. It means being the first to examine our consciences, to acknowledge our

failings and sins, and to embrace the path of constant conversion.

39. "For us priests and consecrated persons, conversion to the newness of the

Gospel entails a daily encounter with the Lord in prayer."

40. "Proclaim the beauty and truth of the Christian message to a society which is

tempted by confusing presentations of sexuality, marriage and the family."

41. "We can love Him but we must let ourselves be loved by Him. Real love is being

open to the love that comes to you. The love that surprises us."

42. "God is a God of surprise because He loved us first."

43. "Rest is so necessary for the health of our minds and bodies, and often so

difficult to achieve due to the many demands placed on us. But rest is also essential

for our spiritual health, so that we can hear God's voice and understand what he

asks of us."

44. "As Christians, you too are called, like Joseph, to make a home for Jesus. You

make a home for him in your hearts, your families, your parishes and your

communities."

45. "When I have a problem or a difficulty, I write on a piece of paper and I put it

under [Saint Joseph's] statue so he can dream about it. This means please pray to

St Joseph for this problem."

46.Like Saint Joseph, once we have heard God's voice, we must rise from our

slumber; we must get up and act.

47. "I have listened to you sing the song: 'We are all Gods children'."

48. "Today Saint Paul has told us that in Christ we have become Gods adopted

children, brothers and sisters in Christ. This is who we are. This is our identity.

On the Church49. "We are called to be 'ambassadors for Christ' (2 Cor 5:20). Ours is a ministry of

reconciliation ... To be an ambassador for Christ means above all to invite

everyone to a renewed personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.


6/21

50. "The Church in the Philippines is called to acknowledge and combat the causes

of the deeply rooted inequality and injustice which mar the face of Filipino

society, plainly contradicting the teaching of Christ.

51. "Be present to young people who may be confused and despondent, yet

continue to see the Church as their friend on the journey and a source of

hope.52. To young priests, religious and seminarians, he said, "Be present to those who,

living in the midst of a society burdened by poverty and corruption, are

broken in spirit, tempted to give up, to leave school and to live on the streets.

53. "I like St Joseph very much ... . On my desk I have a statue of St Joseph

sleeping. While sleeping he looks after the Church.

54.How many people in the Church work so that that house is a home, a family?55.

"We too need to protect, guide and encourage our young people, helping

them to build a society worthy of their great spiritual and cultural heritage."

On the family

56. "It is in the family that we first learn how to pray. And don't forget when the

family prays together, it remains together. This is important.

57. "In the family we learn how to love, to forgive, to be generous and open, not

closed and selfish. We learn to move beyond our own needs, to encounter

others and share our lives with them. That is why it is so important to pray as

a family!

58. "Like all God's gifts, the family can also be disfigured and destroyed. It needs

our support.

59. "It is important to dream in the family. All mothers and fathers dream of their

sons and daughters in the womb for 9 months. They dream of how they will

be. It isn't possible to have a family without such dreams.

60. "[Sexuality, marriage and the family] realities are increasingly under attack from

powerful forces which threaten to disfigure God's plan for creation and betray

the very values which have inspired and shaped all that is best in your

culture.61. "God calls upon us to recognize the dangers threatening our own families and

to protect them from harm. We must be attentive to the new ideological

colonization.

62. "Just as our peoples were able to say in the past 'No' to the period of

colonization, as families we have to be very wise and strong to say 'No' to

any attempted ideological colonization that could destroy the family.

63. "The family is also threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine

the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral,

by a lack of openness to life.64. "Our world needs good and strong families to overcome these threats!


7/21

65. "When you lose this capacity to dream you lose the capacity to love, the

capacity to love is lost.

66. "How many solutions are found to family problems if we take time to reflect, if

we think of a husband or wife, and we dream about the good qualities they

have.

67. To married couples, the pope advised, "Don't ever lose the memory of when youwere boyfriend or girlfriend. That is very important.

68. "Just as the gift of the Holy Family was entrusted to Saint Joseph, so the gift of

the family and its place in God's plan is entrusted to us so we can carry it

forward.

69. "The Philippines needs holy and loving families to protect the beauty and truth

of the family in God's plan and to be a support and example for other

families. Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself. The future of

humanity, as Saint John Paul II often said, passes through the family.

70. "Protect your families! See in them your country's greatest treasure and nourish

them always by prayer and the grace of the sacraments. Families will always

have their trials, but may you never add to them!

71.Be sanctuaries of respect for life, proclaiming the sacredness of every human

life from conception to natural death.

72. "When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound

values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in

our world.

73. Pope Francis asked families to be "missionary disciples of Jesus," which entails

being ready to go beyond your homes and to care for our brothers and

sisters who are most in need.

74. "I ask you especially to show concern for those who do not have a family of

their own, in particular those who are elderly and children without parents.

75. "You may be poor yourselves in material ways, but you have an abundance of

gifts to offer when you offer Christ and the community of his Church. Do not

hide your faith, do not hide Jesus, but carry him into the world and offer the

witness of your family life!

76. "[The Santo Nio] reminds us of the importance of protecting our families, andthose larger families which are the Church, Gods family, and the world, our

human family.

77. "Sadly, in our day, the family all too often needs to be protected against

insidious attacks and programs contrary to all that we hold true and sacred,

all that is most beautiful and noble in our culture."


8/21

On suffering

78. "If today we find ourselves here 14 months afterwards, 14 months precisely

after the Typhoon Yolanda hit, it is because we have the security of knowing we will

not weaken in our faith because Jesus has been here before us.""In Jesus' Passion

he assumed all our pain. Therefore he is capable of understanding us.

79. When I saw from Rome that catastrophe I had to be here. And on those very

days I decided to come here. I am here to be with you a little bit late, but I'm here

80. "I have come to tell you that Jesus is Lord. And he never lets us down.Father,

you might say to me, I was let down because I have lost so many things, my house,

my livelihood. It's true if you say that and I respect those sentiments. But Jesus is

there, nailed to the cross, and from there he does not let us down.

81. "[Jesus] was consecrated as Lord on that throne and there he experienced all

the calamities that we experience. Jesus is Lord. And the Lord from the cross is

there for you. In everything the same as us. That is why we have a Lord who cries

with us and walks with us in the most difficult moments of life.

82. "Let us know that we have a Mother, Mary, and a great Brother, Jesus. We are

not alone. We also have many brothers who in this moment of catastrophe came to

help. And we too, because of this, we feel more like brothers and sisters because

we helped each other.

83. "We are like a little child in the moments when we have so much pain and no

longer understand anythiing. All we can do is grab hold of her hand firmly and say,

'Mommy'," the pontiff said, referring to the Virgin.

On the Philippines and Filipinos

84. Pope Francis visit coincides with the 500th anniversary of the first time the

Gospel was proclaimed in the Philippines.

85. "It is my hope that this important anniversary will point to its continuing

fruitfulness and its potential to inspire a society worthy of the goodness, dignity and

aspirations of the Filipino people."

86. "I have admired the heroic strength, faith and resilience demonstrated by so

many Filipinos in the face of this natural disaster, and so many others.


9/21

87. "Those [Filipino] virtues, rooted not least in the hope and solidarity instilled by

Christian faith, gave rise to an outpouring of goodness and generosity, especially on

the part of so many of the young."

88. "The Philippines, together with many other countries in Asia, faces the

challenge of building on solid foundations a modern society a society respectful of

authentic human values, protective of our God-given human dignity and rights, and

ready to confront new and complex political and ethical questions."

89. "I cannot fail to mention the Philippines' important role in fostering

understanding and cooperation among the countries of Asia."

90. "I would also mention the oft-neglected yet real contribution of Filipinos of the

diaspora to the life and welfare of the societies in which they live. "

91. "I express my trust that the progress made in bringing peace to the south of the

country will result in just solutions in accord with the nation's founding principles

and respectful of the inalienable rights of all, including the indigenous peoples and

religious minorities.

92.Filipinos everywhere are known for their love of God, their fervent piety and their

warm devotion to Our Lady and her rosary.

93. He said Filipinos have passed on a "great heritage," which "contains a powerful

missionary potential. It is the way in which your people has inculturated the Gospel

and continues to embrace its message."

94. "Now, at the end of my visit to the Philippines, I commend you to him, to Jesus

who came among us as a child. May he enable all the beloved people of this

country to work together, protecting one another, beginning with your families and

communities, in building a world of justice, integrity and peace."

95. "May the Santo Nio continue to bless the Philippines and may he sustain the

Christians of this great nation in their vocation to be witnesses and missionaries of

the joy of the Gospel, in Asia and in the whole world."


10/21

On women

96. During his encounter with the youth in the University of Santo Tomas, Pope

Francis commented, "There's only a very small representation of girls among you.

Too little.

Women have much to tell us in today's society. Sometimes we are too 'machistas'

and we don't allow enough space to women. But women can see things from a

different angle to us, with a different eye.

98. "Women are able to pose questions we men are unable to understand. Look out

for this fact: she is the only one who has put a question for which there is no

answer. She couldn't put it into words but expressed it with tears.

99. "When the next pope comes to Manila, please let there be more girls," he said,commenting on the audience in UST

Pope Francis Quotes & Lessons in Philippines Visit

On Family:"Just as the gift of the Holy Family was entrusted to Saint Joseph, so the gift of

family and its place in God's Plan is entrusted to us so we can carry it forward. To

each one of you and us because I too am the son of a family.

When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values,and teach them to contribute to society, they may become a blessing in our world."- Pope Francis

"Begin with your families and communities, in building a world of justice,integrity and peace." - Pope Francis

"Families have an indispensable mission in society. It is in the family that children

are trained in sound values, high ideals and genuine concern for others.

But like all Gods gifts, the family can also be disfigured and destroyed. It needsour support. We know how difficult it is for our democracies today to preserve anddefend such basic human values as respect for the inviolable dignity of eachhuman person, respect for the rights of conscience and religious freedom, andrespect for the inalienable right to life, beginning with that of the unborn andextending to that of the elderly and infirm.

For this reason, families and local communities must be encouraged and assisted

in their efforts to transmit to our young the values and the vision which can helpbring about a culture of integrity one which honors goodness, truthfulness,

fidelity and solidarity as the firm foundation and the moral glue which holdssociety together." - Pope Francis

"To dream how will your daughter or son be, it is not possible to have a familywithout such dreams. When you lose this capacity to dream, then you lose thecapacity to love, and this energy to love is lost. I recommend that at night, whenyou examine your consciences, ask yourselves, Today, did I dream about my sonsand daughters? Did I dream of the love of my husband, or my wife? Did I dream ofmy parents, my family? It is so important to dream, and to dream in the family,

please dont lose this ability to dream in this way. And how many solutions arefound to family problems if we take time to reflect? If we think of a husband orwife and we dream about their good qualities that they have?"- Pope Francis

"Families will always have their trials, but may you never add to them! Instead,be living examples of love, forgiveness and care." - Pope Francis

Women are able to ask questions that men can'tunderstand. ... When the next pope comes, please have more women and girlsamong your numbers." - Pope Francis

Quotes about Life:"For this the Gospel offers us a serene way forward: using the three languages ofthe mind, heart and hands and to use them in harmony. What you think, youmust feel and put into effect. Your information comes down to your heart and you

put it into practice. Harmoniously. What you think, you feel and you do. Feel whatyou think and feel what you do. Do what you think and what you feel. The threelanguages.." - Pope Francis

"Certain realities we only see through eyes that are cleansed with tears."-Pope

Francis

On serving and helping the poor:"Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency will we beable to identify with least of our brothers and sisters." - Pope Francis

"So many of you have lost everything. I don't know what to say to you but the lorddoes know what to say to you." - Pope Francis

need, I ask that even more be done for the poor. Above all, I ask that the poorthroughout this country be treated fairly - that their dignity be respected, that

political and economic policies be just and inclusive, that opportunities foremployment and education be developed, and that obstacles to the delivery ofsocial services be removed.

Our treatment of the poor is the criterion on which each of us will be judged. I askall of you, and all responsible for the good of society, to renew your commitmentto social justice and the betterment of the poor, both here and in the Philippines asa whole." - Pope Francis


19/21

On corruption:"As many voices in your nation have pointed out, it is now, more than ever,necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity andcommitment to the common good. In this way they will help preserve the richhuman and natural resources with which God has blessed this country.

Thus will they be able to marshal the moral resources needed to face the demandsof the present, and to pass on to coming generations a society of authentic justice,solidarity and peace." - Pope Francis

"Essential to the attainment of these national goals is the moral imperative ofensuring social justice and respect for human dignity. The great biblical traditionenjoins on all peoples the duty to hear the voice of the poor.

It bids us break the bonds of injustice and oppression which give rise to glaring,

and indeed scandalous social inequalities. Reforming the social structures whichperpetuate poverty and the exclusion of the poor first requires a conversion ofmind and heart." - Pope Francis

"At all levels of society, to reject every form of corruption which diverts resourcesfrom the poor, and to make concerted efforts to ensure the inclusion of every manand woman and child in the life of the community." - Pope Francis

On receiving:"You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive. You still lack

one thing. Become a beggar. This is what you still lack. Learn how to beg. Thisisnt easy to understand. To learn how to beg. To learn how to receive withhumility.

To learn to be evangelized by the poor, by those we help, the sick, orphans, theyhave so much to give us. Have I learned how to beg? Or am I self-sufficient? Do Ithink I need nothing? Do you know you too are poor? Do you know your own

poverty and your need to receive? Do you let yourselves be evangelized by thoseyou serve? This is what helps you mature in your commitment to give to others.

Learn how to open your hand from your very own poverty." - Pope Francis

On Children:"Children have a right to grow up in a family with a father and a mother capableof creating a suitable environment for the child's development and emotionalmaturity." - Pope Francis

"We need to see each child as a gift to be welcomed, cherished and protected." -Pope Francis

"And we need to care for our young people,not allowing them to be robbed of hope

and condemned to a life on the streets." - Pope Francis


20/21

"Protect the young from sin and vice, so they become outstanding missionaries ofthe faith in Asia." - Pope Francis

"Why do children suffer so much? Why do children suffer? When the heart is ableto ask itself and weep, then we can understand something. There is a worldlycompassion which is useless. You expressed something like this. Its a compassionthat makes us put our hands in our pockets and give something to the poor. But ifChrist had had that kind of compassion he would have greeted a couple of people,given them something, and walked on. But it was only when he was able to crythat he understood something of our lives. Dear young boys and girls, todaysworld doesnt know how to cry. The emarginated people, those left to one side, arecrying. Those who are discarded are crying. But we dont understand much aboutthese people in need. Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed byour tears. I invite each one here to ask yourself: have I learned how to weep? Have

I learned how to weep for the emarginated or for a street child who has a drugproblem or for an abused child? Unfortunately there are those who cry becausethey want something else.

On (Pinoy)Youth:"A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the familyand especially by young people." - Pope Francis

"I want to encourage you, as Christian citizens of this country, to offer yourselvespassionately and honestly to the great work of renewing your society and helpingto build a better world." - Pope Francis

"There is a real danger of living in a wave of accumulation of information. Wehave so much information. But maybe we dont know what to do with thatinformation. We run the risk of becoming a museum of young people that haseverything but without knowing what to do with them.

We dont need youth museums. But we do need holy young people." - Pope Francis

"A challenge for you is to maintain integrity, protect the environment and care forthe poor." - Pope Francis

"The Philippines... is the foremost Catholic country in Asia; this is itself a specialgift of God, a special blessing. But it is also a vocation. Filipinos are called to beoutstanding missionaries of the faith in Asia." - Pope Francis

On the environment:"I dont know if climate change is all mans fault, but the majority is. For the most

part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature. We have, in a sense, lorded itover nature, over Sister Earth, over Mother Earth. I think man has gone too far."-Pope Francis

"He created the world as a beautiful garden and asked us to care for it. Butthrough sin, man has disfigured that natural beauty; through sin, man has also


21/21

destroyed the unity and beauty of our human family, creating social structureswhich perpetuate poverty, ignorance and corruption." - Pope Francis
