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
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

Pope John Paul II
Image
Work bears a particular mark of man and of humanity, the mark of a person operating within a community of persons
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
Image
Hands are the heart's landscape.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.
Pope John Paul II
Image

Pope John Paul II
Image
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
The fear of making permanent commitments can change the mutual love of husband and wife into two loves of self-two loves existing side by side, until they end in separation.
