More quotes by Pope John Paul II

Image
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
Image
If you wish to be brothers, drop your weapons.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Those who advocate euthanasia have capitalized on people's confusion, ambivalence and even fear about the use of modern life-prolonging technologies. Being able to choose the time and manner of one's death, without regard to what is chosen is presented as the ultimate freedom.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Our communal worship at Mass must go together with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in order that our love may be complete
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Gospel of life must be proclaimed and human life defended in all places and all times.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
Believers do not surrender. They can continue on their way to the truth because they are certain that God has created them explorers, whose mission is to leave no stone unturned, though the temptation to doubt is always there. Leaning on God, they continue to reach out, always and everywhere, for all that is beautiful, good, and true.
Pope John Paul II
Image
I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Each man, in his suffering, can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The greatest deception, and the deepest source of unhappiness, is the illusion of finding life by excluding God, of finding freedom by excluding moral truths and personal responsibility.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Open your minds and hearts to the beauty of all that God has made and to His special, personal love for each one of you.
Pope John Paul II
Image
A person's rightful due is to be treated as an object of love, not as an object for use.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family.
Pope John Paul II
Image
A nation that kills its own children has no future.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church imposes nothing she only proposes, she proposes like a lover to the beloved.
Pope John Paul II
Image
In the fulfillment of your duties, let your intentions be so pure that you reject from your actions any other motive than the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
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
Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. Escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
