The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness.

But the church is not a tollhouse; it is the house of the father, where there is a place for everyone, with all their problems  (Pope Francis Quotes) Situations can change; people can change. Be the first to seek to bring good. Do not grow accustomed to evil, but defeat it with good  (Pope Francis Quotes) How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure but it is news when the stock market loses two points?  (Pope Francis Quotes) I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security  (Pope Francis Quotes) Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another.

Not just the man. Not just the woman. No, both of them.

We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us. Sometimes after a meeting I want to arrange another one because new ideas are born and I discover new needs  (Pope Francis Quotes) This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas.

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. This isn’t easy to understand.
