"The mutual bonds which eternally constitute the Three Persons, who are each one and the same divine being, are the blessed inmost life of God thrice holy, infinitely beyond all that we can conceive in human measure."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

It is your duty as a Christian to pray for Pope Francis.

"Thus in the Three Divine Persons, coaeternae sibi et coaequales, the life and beatitude of God perfectly one superabound and are consummated in the supreme excellence and glory proper to uncreated being..."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

Prayer for Pope Francis (USCCB)

"He ascended to heaven, and He will come again, this time in glory, to judge the living and the dead: each according to his merits—those who have responded to the love and piety of God going to eternal life, those who have refused them to the end going to the fire that is not extinguished."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"[The Holy Spirit's] action, which penetrates to the inmost of the soul, enables man to respond to the call of Jesus: Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect (Mt. 5:48)."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"We believe that in Adam all have sinned... We therefore hold, with the Council of Trent, that original sin is transmitted with human nature, 'not by imitation, but by propagation' and that it is thus 'proper to everyone.'"
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ, by the sacrifice of the cross redeemed us from original sin and all the personal sins committed by each one of us..."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith. He does not see that God’s commitment to the world is most absolute precisely at this point—across a chasm."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar in "A Short Primer for Unsettled Laymen"

"Baptism should be administered even to little children who have not yet been able to be guilty of any personal sin, in order that, though born deprived of supernatural grace, they may be reborn “of water and the Holy Spirit” to the divine life in Christ Jesus."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

Please pray for someone close to me who is dying.

"In the course of time, the Lord Jesus forms His Church by means of the sacraments emanating from His plenitude. By these she makes her members participants in the Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Christ, in the grace of the Holy Spirit who gives her life and movement."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"We believe all that is contained in the word of God written or handed down, and that the Church proposes for belief as divinely revealed, whether by a solemn judgment or by the ordinary and universal magisterium."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"[W]e entertain the hope that the Christians who are not yet in the full communion of the one only Church will one day be reunited in one flock with one only shepherd. We believe that the Church is necessary for salvation, because Christ, who is the sole mediator and way of salvation, renders Himself present for us in His body which is the Church."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"We believe that as the bread and wine consecrated by the Lord at the Last Supper were changed into His body and His blood which were to be offered for us on the cross, likewise the bread and wine consecrated by the priest are changed into the body and blood of Christ enthroned gloriously in heaven..."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"And it is our very sweet duty to honor and adore in the blessed Host which our eyes see, the Incarnate Word whom they cannot see, and who, without leaving heaven, is made present before us."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"We confess that the Kingdom of God... is not of this world whose form is passing, and that its proper growth cannot be confounded with the progress of civilization, of science or of human technology, but that it consists in an ever more profound knowledge of the unfathomable riches of Christ..."
— Pope St. Paul VI, Credo of the People of God

"Unhappy the person who spends all his time with things outside, ignorant of his own inner self; he thinks himself to be something when he is nothing; he deceives himself."
— St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Sermons for Lent and the Easter Season

"Let us not climb with great physical effort or with gasping breath, lifting our feet uphill, but rather—equipping ourselves with a leisurely understanding to receive what has been said—let us first of all open the holy books, and then, gazing on the sacred text, we shall grope for the riches hidden within."
— Pantoleon, Sermon on the Most Glorious Transfiguration of Our Lord and God, Jesus Christ
