More quotes by Pope John Paul II

Image
The most faithful disciples of Christ have been builders of peace, to the point of forgiving their enemies, sometimes even to the point of giving their lives for them.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Man must reconcile himself to his natural greatness.... he must not forget that he is a person.
Pope John Paul II
Image
It's better to cry than be angry, because anger hurts others while tears flow silently through the soul and cleans the heart.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Only a socially just country has the right to exist.
Pope John Paul II
Image
God has, in fact, thought of us from eternity and has loved us as unique individuals. He has called every one of us by name, as the Good Shepherd 'calls His sheep by name.'
Pope John Paul II
Image
Only in Christ can men and women find answers to the ultimate questions that trouble them. Only in Christ can they fully understand their dignity as persons created and loved by God.
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
Prayer finds its source in God's holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.
Pope John Paul II
Image
People must not attempt to impose their own 'truth' on others. The right to profess the truth must always be upheld, but not in a way that involves contempt for those who may think differently. Truth imposes itself solely by the force of its own truth.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Truth must be the foundation stone, the cement to solidify the entire social edifice.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family.
Pope John Paul II
Image
To believe in Jesus is to accept what he says, even when it runs contrary to what others are saying. It means rejecting the lure of sin, however attractive it may be, in order to set out on the difficult path of the Gospel virtues.
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
The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Darkness can only be scattered by light, hatred can only be conquered by love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Friendship, as has been said, consists in a full commitment of the will to another person with a view to that person's good.
Pope John Paul II
Image
He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with Him and like Him. Yes, Christ calls you, but He calls you in truth. His call is demanding, because He invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by Him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The obligation to earn one's bread presumes the right to do so. A society that denies this right cannot be justified, nor can it attain social peace.
Pope John Paul II
Image
It would appear that, on the level of individual nations and of international relations, the free market is the most efficient instrument for utilizing resources and effectively responding to needs.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The modern world, a world which has experienced marvelous achievements but which seems to have lost its sense of ultimate realities and of existence itself.
