By dialogue, we let God be present in our midst, for as we open ourselves to one another, we open ourselves to God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Commending the victims to almighty God's mercy, I implore his strength upon all involved in rescue efforts and in caring for the survivors.
Pope John Paul II
Image
For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time that cannot be forced nine months must go by for the birth of a human child to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research ...To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Solidarity is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Rosary mystically transports us to Mary's side as she is busy watching over the human growth of Christ in the home of Nazareth. This enables her to train us and to mold us with the same care, until Christ is ''fully formed'' in us... Why should we not once more have recourse to the Rosary, with the same faith as those who have gone before us?
Pope John Paul II
Image
The film industry has become a universal medium exercising a profound influence on the development of people's attitudes and choices, and possessing a remarkable ability to influence public opinion and culture across all social and political frontiers.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Creating the human race in His own image and continually keeping it in being, God inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation... of love and communion. Love is therefore the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being.
Pope John Paul II
Image
When Sunday loses its fundamental meaning and becomes subordinate to a secular concept of weekend dominated by such things as entertainment and sport, people stay locked within a horizon so narrow that they can no longer see the heavens.
Pope John Paul II
Image
An important day in a young person's life is the day on which he becomes convinced that Christ is the only Friend who will not disappoint him, on which he can always count.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Eucharistic worship is not so much worship of the inaccessible transcendence as worship of the divine condescension, and it is also the merciful and redeeming transformation of the world in the human heart
Pope John Paul II
Image
The cross means there is no shipwreck without hope there is no dark without dawn nor storm without haven.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Let us not accept violence as the way of peace. Let us instead begin by respecting true freedom: the resulting peace will be able to satisfy the world's expectations, for it will be a peace built on justice, a peace founded on the incomparable dignity of the free human being.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church imposes nothing she only proposes, she proposes like a lover to the beloved.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Hands are the heart's landscape.
Pope John Paul II
Image
We can pray perfectly when we are out in the mountains or on a lake and we feel at one with nature. Nature speaks for us or rather speaks to us. We pray perfectly.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Respect for life and for the dignity of the human person also extends to the rest of creation, which is called to join man in praising God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
On my knees, I beg of you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the path of peace. Those who resort to violence always claim that only violence brings about change. You must know there is a political, peaceful way to justice.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Laws which legitimize the direct killing of innocent human beings through abortion or euthanasia are in complete opposition to the inviolable right to life proper to every individual they thus deny the equality of everyone before the law.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.
