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

Love of Christ does not distract us from interest in others, but rather invites us to responsibility for them, to the exclusion of no one….

Man must reconcile himself to his natural greatness.... he must not forget that he is a person.
Pope John Paul II

The only struggle which religions can justify, the only struggle worthy of humans, is the moral struggle against humanity's own disordered passions, against every kind of selfishness, against attempts to oppress others, against every type of hatred and violence.
Pope John Paul II
