The person who does not decide to love forever will find it very difficult to really love for even one day.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Through Mary, we come to her Son more easily.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
Yes, the civilization of love is possible it is not a utopia. But it is only possible by a constant and ready reference to the Father from whom all fatherhood and motherhood on earth is named, from whom every human family comes.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Only a socially just country has the right to exist.
Pope John Paul II
Image
To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Those in society who are in charge of schools must never forget that the parents have been appointed by God himself as the first and principal educators of their children and that their right is completely inalienable.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church and the world have a great need of eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease
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
...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
Image
Christ assigns as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman: and simultaneously... He also assigns to every woman the dignity of every man.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Everybody that is just is called to form part of the Kingdom of Heaven-whether they be Buddhas, Jews, or Atheists-as long as they are good.
Pope John Paul II
Image
When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fulfillness of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ.
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
