More quotes by Pope John Paul II
The purpose of art is nothing less than the upliftment of the human spirit.
Pope John Paul II
Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth- in a word, to know himself- so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.
Pope John Paul II
The Church's teaching on ownership diverges radically from collectivism as proclaimed by Marxism and rigid capitalism. The primacy of the person over things joint ownership of the means of work.
Pope John Paul II
Truth must be the foundation stone, the cement to solidify the entire social edifice.
Pope John Paul II
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
While in some cases the damage already done may well be irreversible, in many other cases it can still be halted. It is necessary, however, that the entire human community - individuals, States and international bodies - take seriously the responsibility that is theirs.
Pope John Paul II
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
He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with Him and like Him. Yes, Christ calls you, but He calls you in truth. His call is demanding, because He invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by Him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
Pope John Paul II
We began by imagining that we are giving to the we end by realizing that they have enriched us.
Pope John Paul II
...Be holy men and women! Do not forget that the fruits of the apostolate depend on the depth of the spiritual life, on the intensity of prayer, of continual formation and sincere adhesion to the directives of the Church.
Pope John Paul II
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
The Church imposes nothing she only proposes, she proposes like a lover to the beloved.
Pope John Paul II
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
Peace is not just the absence of war. Like a cathedral, peace must be constructed patiently and with unshakable faith.
Pope John Paul II
The Church has a special duty to safeguard and strengthen the sacredness of the Eucharist. In our pluralistic and often deliberately secularized society, the living faith of the Christian community - a faith always aware of its rights vis-a-vis those who do not share the faith - ensures respect for this sacredness
Pope John Paul II
Be demanding of the world around you be demanding first of all with yourselves. Be children of God take pride in it!
Pope John Paul II
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
It is unbecoming for a cardinal to ski badly.
Pope John Paul II
Thus to share in the sufferings of Christ is, at the same time, to suffer for the kingdom of God. In the eyes of the just God, before his judgment. Those who share in the sufferings of Christ become worthy of this kingdom.
Pope John Paul II
Every effort to make society sensitive to the importance of the family, is a great service to humanity.
Pope John Paul II
