More quotes by 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
Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Motherhood implies from the beginning a special openness to the new person: and this is precisely the woman's 'part'. In this openness, in conceiving and giving birth to a child, the woman 'discovers herself through a sincere gift of self'.
Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II

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 international community should support a system of laws to regularize international relations and maintain the peace in the same manner that law governs national order.
Pope John Paul II
Man matures through work which inspires him to difficult good.
Pope John Paul II
I kiss the soil as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is our earthly mother. I consider it my duty to be with my compatriots in this sublime and difficult moment.
Pope John Paul II
Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.
Pope John Paul II
Truth must be the foundation stone, the cement to solidify the entire social edifice.
Pope John Paul II
Do you think that there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?
Pope John Paul II
Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it.
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
We Christians joyfully recognize the religious values we have in common with Islam. I would like to repeat what I said to young Muslims some years ago in Casablanca: 'We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection.
