More quotes by 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
Another name for peace is development.
Pope John Paul II
Image
To be actively pro-life is to contribute to the renewal of society through the promotion of the common good. It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Truth can never be confined to time and culture in history it is known, but it also reaches beyond history.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family... The family is placed at the center of the great struggle between good and evil, between life and death, between love and all that is opposed to love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Take away from love the fullness of self surrender, the completeness of personal commitment, and what remains will be a total denial and negation of it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Friendship, as has been said, consists in a full commitment of the will to another person with a view to that person's good.
Pope John Paul II
Image
A process of genocide is being carried out before the eyes of the world.
Pope John Paul II
Image
God has, in fact, thought of us from eternity and has loved us as unique individuals. He has called every one of us by name, as the Good Shepherd 'calls His sheep by name.'
Pope John Paul II
Image
Taking into account these distinctions, in harmony with the Magisterium of my Predecessors[81] and in communion with the Bishops of the Catholic Church, I confirm that euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of God, since it is the deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person.
Pope John Paul II
Image
May you experience the truth that he, Christ, looks upon you with love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate the face of Christ with Mary.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Peoples of the entire world need to hear these words. Their conscience needs to grow in the certainty that Someone exists who holds in His Hands the destiny of this passing world... And this Someone is Love- Love that became Man, Love crucified and risen, Love unceasingly present among men. It is Eucharistic Love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Truth must be the foundation stone, the cement to solidify the entire social edifice.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
America you are beautiful . . . and blessed . . . . The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Love demands effort and a personal commitment to the will of God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
All are called to holiness, and holy people alone can renew humanity.
