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

More quotes by Pope John Paul II
See everything. Ignore a lot. Improve a little.
Pope John Paul II
'Lord you know that I love you...Lord, you know that I love you' (Jn 21:15-17). The Eucharist is, in a certain way, the culminating point of this answer. I wish to repeat it together with the whole Church to Him, who manifested His love by means of the Sacrament of His Body and Blood, remaining with us 'to the close of the age'
Pope John Paul II
Make your lives intensely Eucharistic.
Pope John Paul II
Only in Christ can men and women find answers to the ultimate questions that trouble them. Only in Christ can they fully understand their dignity as persons created and loved by God.
Pope John Paul II
The priest is not and must not be a civil servant of the Church. Above all the priest is a man who lives for the spirit for God. This being the case the Seminary is the place where he learns 'to be with Him.'
Pope John Paul II
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
Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Pope John Paul II
The call for a sincere gift of self is the fullest way to realize our personal freedom.
Pope John Paul II
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
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
Pope John Paul II
We Christians joyfully recognize the religious values we have in common with Islam. I would like to repeat what I said to young Muslims some years ago in Casablanca: 'We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection.
Pope John Paul II
Laws which legitimize the direct killing of innocent human beings through abortion or euthanasia are in complete opposition to the inviolable right to life proper to every individual they thus deny the equality of everyone before the law.
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
The sacraments infuse holiness into the terrain of man's humanity: they penetrate the soul and body, the femininity and masculinity of the personal subject, with the power of holiness.
Pope John Paul II
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
All of us experience the sad effects of blind submission to consumerism. In the first place it represents crass materialism. At the same time it represents a radical dissatisfaction because one quickly learns that the more one possesses, the more one wants, while deeper aspirations remain unsatisfied and perhaps even stifled.
Pope John Paul II
The world looks to the priest, because it looks to Jesus! No one can see Christ but everyone sees the priest, and through him they wish to catch a glimpse of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur and dignity of the priest!
Pope John Paul II
The aesthetic value of creation cannot be overlooked. Our very contact with nature has a deep restorative power contemplation of its magnificence imparts peace and serenity. The Bible speaks again and again of the goodness and beauty of creation, which is called to glorify God.
Pope John Paul II
The distinctive mark of the Christian, today more than ever, must be love for the poor, the weak, the suffering.
Pope John Paul II
None of us is alone in this world each of us is a vital piece of the great mosaic of humanity as a whole.
Pope John Paul II
