More quotes by Pope John Paul II
There must be a cooperation of all who believe in God, knowing that authentic religiousness - far from placing individuals and peoples in conflict with one another - rather pushes them together to build a world of peace.
Pope John Paul II
...all that is carried along by the stream's silvery cascade, rhythmically falling from the mountain, carried by its own current-- carried where?
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
If the communications media are a good destined for all humanity, then ever-new means must be found - including recourse to opportune legislative measures - to make possible a true participation in their management by all. The culture of co-responsibility must be nurtured.
Pope John Paul II
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
You made us for yourself, Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you. In this creative restlessness beats and pulsates what is most deeply human - the search for truth, the insatiable need for the good, hunger for freedom, nostalgia for the beautiful, and the voice of conscience.
Pope John Paul II
Sensitivity to the immense needs of humanity brings with it a spontaneous rejection of the arms race, which is incompatible with the all out struggle against hunger, sickness, under-development and illiteracy.
Pope John Paul II
Contraception contradicts the full truth of the sexual act as the proper expression of conjugal love.
Pope John Paul II
Commending the victims to almighty God's mercy, I implore his strength upon all involved in rescue efforts and in caring for the survivors.
Pope John Paul II
If you want peace, work for justice. If you want justice, defend life. If you want life, embrace truth.
Pope John Paul II
You, too, be courageous! The world needs convinced and fearless witnesses. It is not enough to discuss, it is necessary to act!
Pope John Paul II
The measure of your success will be the measure of your generosity.
Pope John Paul II
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
Do not be afraid to be saints. Follow Jesus Christ who is the source of freedom and light. Be open to the Lord so that He may lighten all your ways.
Pope John Paul II
Not all are called to be artists in the specific sense of the term. Yet, as Genesis has it, all men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece.
Pope John Paul II
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
Eucharistic worship is not so much worship of the inaccessible transcendence as worship of the divine condescension, and it is also the merciful and redeeming transformation of the world in the human heart
Pope John Paul II
The essential commitment and, above all, the visible grace and source of supernatural strength for the Church as the People of God is to persevere and advance constantly in Eucharistic life and Eucharistic piety and to develop spiritually in the climate of the Eucharist.
Pope John Paul II
Dear young people of every language and culture, a high and exhilarating task awaits you: that of becoming men and women capable of solidarity, peace and love of life, with respect for everyone. Become craftsmen of a new humanity, where brothers and sisters - members all of the same family - are able at last to live in peace.
Pope John Paul II
Offer Christ your heart in meditation and personal prayer which is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Pope John Paul II
