More quotes by Pope John Paul II
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
The Rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple and a theologically rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it.
Pope John Paul II
Beauty is the vocation bestowed on the artist by the Creator in the gift of artistic talent.
Pope John Paul II
While in some cases the damage already done may well be irreversible, in many other cases it can still be halted. It is necessary, however, that the entire human community - individuals, States and international bodies - take seriously the responsibility that is theirs.
Pope John Paul II
You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.
Pope John Paul II
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
We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.
Pope John Paul II
Euthanasia and assisted suicide are never acceptable acts of mercy. They always gravely exploit the suffering and desperate, extinguishing life in the name of the 'quality of life' itself.
Pope John Paul II
Be demanding of the world around you be demanding first of all with yourselves. Be children of God take pride in it!
Pope John Paul II
Do not be afraid to be saints. Follow Jesus Christ who is the source of freedom and light. Be open to the Lord so that He may lighten all your ways.
Pope John Paul II
You are priests, not social or political leaders. Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems.
Pope John Paul II
The United Nations organization has proclaimed 1979 as the Year of the Child. Are the children to receive the arms race from us as a necessary inheritance?
Pope John Paul II
The measure of your success will be the measure of your generosity.
Pope John Paul II
Do not be afraid to be the saints of the new mellineum!
Pope John Paul II
The Church must breathe with her two lungs!
Pope John Paul II
God of our fathers, you chose Abraham and his descendants to bring your Name to the Nations: we are deeply saddened by the behaviour of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer, and asking your forgiveness we wish to commit ourselves to genuine brotherhood with the people of the Covenant.
Pope John Paul II
Nobody is so poor he has nothing to give, and nobody is so rich he has nothing to receive.
Pope John Paul II
Prayer finds its source in God's holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.
Pope John Paul II
The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.
Pope John Paul II
Contraception contradicts the full truth of the sexual act as the proper expression of conjugal love.
Pope John Paul II
