Hey, you dropped something. Pick your jaw up. And while you're down there pick mine up, please. This quote cannot be said to be taken out of context. It is the relevant context. If something else was meant, it demands qualification. The devil Bergoglio gave none.
Below is a transcript of the entire speech from 9/24/2015.

And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.
