More quotes by Pope John Paul II
The most faithful disciples of Christ have been builders of peace, to the point of forgiving their enemies, sometimes even to the point of giving their lives for them.
Pope John Paul II
[St. Francis] looked upon creation with the eyes of one who could recognize in it the marvelous work of the hand of God. His solicitous care, not only towards men, but also towards animals is a faithful echo of the love with which God in the beginning pronounced his 'fiat' which brought them into existence. We too are called to a similar attitude.
Pope John Paul II
A community needs a soul if it is to become a true home for human beings. You.. the people must give it this soul.
Pope John Paul II
Jesus himself has shown us by his own example that prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil.
Pope John Paul II
He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with Him and like Him. Yes, Christ calls you, but He calls you in truth. His call is demanding, because He invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by Him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
Pope John Paul II
This is why moral uneasiness is destined to become even more acute. It is obvious that a fundamental defect, or rather a series of defects, indeed a defective machinery is at the root of contemporary economics and materialistic civilization, which does not allow the human family to break free from such radically unjust situations.
Pope John Paul II
There is no place for selfishness-and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice
Pope John Paul II
To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate the face of Christ with Mary.
Pope John Paul II
And everything else will then turn out to be unimportant and inessential except this: father, child, and love. And then, looking at the simplest things, we will all say, Could we have not learned this long ago? Has this not always been embedded in everything that is?
Pope John Paul II
Nobody is so poor he has nothing to give, and nobody is so rich he has nothing to receive.
Pope John Paul II
I sense that the moment has come to commit all of the Church's energies to a new evangelization... No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.
Pope John Paul II
We Christians joyfully recognize the religious values we have in common with Islam. I would like to repeat what I said to young Muslims some years ago in Casablanca: 'We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection.
Pope John Paul II
What does our generation owe to generations yet unborn? ...there is an order in the universe which must be respected, and... the human person, endowed with the capability of choosing freely, has a grave responsibility to preserve this order for the well-being of future generations.
Pope John Paul II
Give us the grace - When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.
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
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
It's too early for a Polish pope.
Pope John Paul II
Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
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
We are all one family in the world. Building a community that empowers everyone to attain their full potential through each of us respecting each other's dignity, rights and responsibilities makes the world a better place to live.
Pope John Paul II
