A process of genocide is being carried out before the eyes of the world.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Deepen you knowledge of Jesus which ends loneliness, overcomes sadness and uncertainty, gives real meaning to life, curbs passions, exalts ideals, expands energies in charity, brings light into decisive choices. Let Christ be for you the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
How can such episodes of such savage cruelty happen? The heart of man is an abyss out of which sometimes emerge plots of unspeakable ferocity capable of overturning in an instant the tranquil and productive life of a people.
Pope John Paul II
Image
God comes to us in the things we know best and cane verify most easily, the things of our everyday life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
Euthanasia and assisted suicide are never acceptable acts of mercy. They always gravely exploit the suffering and desperate, extinguishing life in the name of the 'quality of life' itself.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Love demands effort and a personal commitment to the will of God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
I sense that the moment has come to commit all of the Church's energies to a new evangelization... No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The obligation to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow also presumes the right to do so. A society in which this right is systematically denied, in which economic policies do not allow workers to reach satisfactory levels of employment, cannot be justified from an ethical point of view, nor can that society attain social peace.
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
A community needs a soul if it is to become a true home for human beings. You.. the people must give it this soul.
Pope John Paul II
Image
It's better to cry than be angry, because anger hurts others while tears flow silently through the soul and cleans the heart.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The cross means there is no shipwreck without hope there is no dark without dawn nor storm without haven.
Pope John Paul II
Image
One cannot use with impunity the different categories of beings-animals, plants, the natural elements-simply as one wishes, according to economic needs. One must take into account the nature of each being and its mutual connection in an ordered system, which is the cosmos.
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
We can pray perfectly when we are out in the mountains or on a lake and we feel at one with nature. Nature speaks for us or rather speaks to us. We pray perfectly.
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.

There is no place for selfishness-and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice
