Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war.
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.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Truth can prevail only in virtue of truth itself.
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 history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family.
Pope John Paul II

The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family... The family is placed at the center of the great struggle between good and evil, between life and death, between love and all that is opposed to love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Respect for life and for the dignity of the human person also extends to the rest of creation, which is called to join man in praising God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The conviction which we must share and spread is that the call to holiness is directed to all Christians. This is not a question of privilege or of spiritual elitism. It is a question of a grace offered to all the baptized.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Freedom is not the ability to do anything we want, whenever we want. Rather, FREEDOM is the ability to live responsibly the truth of our relationship with God and with one another.
Pope John Paul II
Image
We need a new apologetic, geared to the needs of today, which keeps in mind that our task is not to win arguments but to win souls... Such an apologetic will need to breathe a spirit of humanity, that humility and compassion which understand the anxieties and questions of people.
Pope John Paul II
Image
We began by imagining that we are giving to the we end by realizing that they have enriched us.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church imposes nothing she only proposes, she proposes like a lover to the beloved.
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 Rosary is my favorite prayer. A prayer so simple and so rich from deepest heart, I exhort all to recite it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Commending the victims to almighty God's mercy, I implore his strength upon all involved in rescue efforts and in caring for the survivors.

Where, if not in the Divine Mercy, can the world find refuge and the light of hope?
Pope John Paul II

Today, for the first time in history, a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land, once a distant outpost of the pagan world, has become, through the preaching of the Gospel, a beloved and gifted portion of Christ's vineyard.
