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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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!

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."

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.

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."

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
To the Filipino Church:
"The Church in the Philippines is called to acknowledge and combat the causes ofthe deeply rooted inequality and injustice which mar the face of Filipino Society,plainly contradicting the teaching of Christ." - 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

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

"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
