More From Pope Francis

There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. and when the lambs whisper among themselves, "these birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a bird of prey must be good," there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument-though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, we have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.
Trust Opposites Evil
It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. for the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. it is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. in perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for god: and it is lost and submerged in him and transformed into him.

I mean, you hear the word 'globalization' over and over and over again. globalization, globalization, globalization. rarely has a word gone so directly from obscurity to meaninglessness without any intervening period of coherence.

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.
Prayer Thinking Differences
I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. i mean, if you really want to make a living, go to wall street and trade oil futures ... we're writers. we're doing something that is inherently a generous act. we're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. why do that if you're not willing to be generous? and paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. but that's secondary. for me, the privilege of being generous is why i get to do this.
Wall Writing Mean
Say the prayer first thing in the morning when you open your eyes; then say it again before you go to sleep. dream the prayer. feel the prayer with your emotional body. be the prayer; align your faith and intent with the prayer until your whole life is based on this prayer.

Similar Quotes
We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. and yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. it's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.

I mean, being shot in slow motion doing cocaine by martin scorsese is, like, maybe every actor's dream. nothing will compare to it. except maybe having kids.
