The fragility of our era is this, too: we don't believe that there is a chance for redemption; for a hand to raise you up; for an embrace to save you, forgive you, pick you up, flood you with infinite, patient, indulgent love; to put you back on your feet. We need mercy.

A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.

Mercy will always be greater than any sin, no one can put a limit on the love of the all-forgiving God.

God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn't believe and doesn't seek the faith. Premise that - and it's the fundamental thing - the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn't believe in God lies in obeying one's conscience.

I invite you not to build walls but bridges, to conquer evil with good, offence with forgiveness, to live in peace with everyone.
