Pope John Paul II
Image
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

Man's life comes from God: it is his image and imprint, as sharing in his breath of life. God therefore is the sole Lord of this life: Man cannot do with it as he wills.
Pope John Paul II

The man who wishes to understand himself thoroughly must with his unrest, uncertainty, and even his weakness and sinfulness, with his life and death, draw near to Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Take heart young people! Christ is calling you and the world awaits you! Remember the Kingdom of God needs your generous and complete dedication.
Pope John Paul II

Once again, through myself, the Church, in the words of the well-known declaration Nostra Aetate, 'deplores the hatred, persecutions and displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and by anyone.' I repeat, 'By anyone.'
Pope John Paul II

Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.
Pope John Paul II

It is the responsibility of Pastors to encourage, also by their personal witness, the practice of Eucharistic adoration, and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in particular, as well as prayer of adoration before Christ present under the Eucharistic species.
Pope John Paul II
Image
People must not attempt to impose their own 'truth' on others. The right to profess the truth must always be upheld, but not in a way that involves contempt for those who may think differently. Truth imposes itself solely by the force of its own truth.
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
Image
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

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
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.
