Pope John Paul II
Jesus himself has shown us by his own example that prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil.

Pope John Paul II
Each individual in fact has moral responsibility for the acts which he personally performs no one can be exempted from this responsibility, and on the basis of it everyone will be judged by God himself.
