More quotes by Pope John Paul II

Image
The Church counters the culture of death with the culture of love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church and the world have a great need of eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease
Pope John Paul II
Image
When Sunday loses its fundamental meaning and becomes subordinate to a secular concept of weekend dominated by such things as entertainment and sport, people stay locked within a horizon so narrow that they can no longer see the heavens.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Offer Christ your heart in meditation and personal prayer which is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
There is no true peace without fairness, truth, justice and solidarity.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Once the truth is denied to human beings, it is pure illusion to try to set them free. Truth and freedom either go together hand in hand or together they perish in misery.
Pope John Paul II
Image
It is not enough to long for a person as a good for oneself, one must also, and above all, long for that person's good.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A prayer so simple and so rich from deepest heart, I exhort all to recite it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
Young people are threatened... by the evil use of advertising techniques that stimulate the natural inclination to avoid hard work by promising the immediate satisfaction of every desire.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Rosary mystically transports us to Mary's side as she is busy watching over the human growth of Christ in the home of Nazareth. This enables her to train us and to mold us with the same care, until Christ is ''fully formed'' in us... Why should we not once more have recourse to the Rosary, with the same faith as those who have gone before us?
Pope John Paul II
Image
Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The legal toleration of abortion or of euthanasia can in no way claim to be based on respect for the conscience of others, precisely because society has the right and the duty to protect itself against the abuses which can occur in the name of conscience and under the pretext of freedom.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Peace is not just the absence of war. Like a cathedral, peace must be constructed patiently and with unshakable faith.
Pope John Paul II
Image
A man shows himself a true disciple of Christ by carrying the cross in his turn every day in the activity that he is called to perform.
Pope John Paul II
Image
It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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.
