More quotes by Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II
The Gospel must not be kept hidden because of fear or indifference. It was never meant to be hidden away in private. It has to be put on a stand so that people may see its light and give praise to our Heavenly Father.
Pope John Paul II
Today, for the first time in history, a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land, once a distant outpost of the pagan world, has become, through the preaching of the Gospel, a beloved and gifted portion of Christ's vineyard.

Pope John Paul II
In this silence of the white Host, carried in the Monstrance, are all His words there is His whole life given in offering to the Father for each of us there is also the glory of the glorified body, which started with the Resurrection, and still continues in Heavenly union.
Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II
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
What does our generation owe to generations yet unborn? ...there is an order in the universe which must be respected, and... the human person, endowed with the capability of choosing freely, has a grave responsibility to preserve this order for the well-being of future generations.
Pope John Paul II
To predispose our mind to welcome the Lord who, as we say in the Creed, one day will come to judge the living and the dead, we must learn to recognize him as present in the events of daily life. Therefore, Advent is, so to speak, an intense training that directs us decisively toward him who already came, who will come, and who comes continuously.
Pope John Paul II
Human progress planned as alternatives (to God's plan) introduce in justice, evil and violence rising against the divine plan of justice and salvation. And despite transitory and apparent successes, they are reduced to simple machinations destined to dissolution and failure.
Pope John Paul II
The sickness of a family member, friend or neighbor is a call to Christians to demonstrate true compassion, that gentle and persevering sharing in another's pain.
Pope John Paul II
There are many examples of this mistaken idea of freedom, such as the elimination of human life by legalized or generally accepted abortion.
Pope John Paul II
Everybody that is just is called to form part of the Kingdom of Heaven-whether they be Buddhas, Jews, or Atheists-as long as they are good.
Pope John Paul II
From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others
Pope John Paul II
Holiness is not reserved for a small number of exceptional persons. It is for everyone. It is the Lord who brings us to holiness when we are willing to collaborate in the salvation of the world for the glory of God, despite our sin and our sometimes rebellious temperament.
Pope John Paul II
The worst prison would be a closed heart.
Pope John Paul II
Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say.
Pope John Paul II
Never tire of firmly speaking out in defense of life from its conception and do not be deterred from the commitment to defend the dignity of every human person with courageous determination. Christ is with you: be not afraid!
Pope John Paul II
We are the people of life, because God, in His unconditional love, has given us the Gospel of Life, and we are called to act accordingly.
