More quotes by Pope John Paul II

Image
The human person is a unique composite - a unity of spirit and matter, soul and body, fashioned in the image of God and destined to live forever. Every human life is sacred, because every human person is sacred.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The obligation to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow also presumes the right to do so. A society in which this right is systematically denied, in which economic policies do not allow workers to reach satisfactory levels of employment, cannot be justified from an ethical point of view, nor can that society attain social peace.
Pope John Paul II
Image
There is no true peace without fairness, truth, justice and solidarity.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.
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
Image
The Church must breathe with her two lungs!
Pope John Paul II
Image
In my reading and in my studies I always tried to achieve a harmony between faith, reason, and the heart. These are not separate areas, but are profoundly interconnected, each giving life to the other.
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
We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.
Pope John Paul II
Image
We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Is not Jesus pointing to children even as models for grownups?
Pope John Paul II
Image
Technology that pollutes can also cleanse, production that amasses can also distribute justly, on condition that the ethic of respect for life and human dignity, for the rights of today's generations and those to come, prevails.
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
Image
Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church. Since salvation is offered to all, it must be made concretely available to all.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Make your lives intensely Eucharistic.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Darkness can only be scattered by light, hatred can only be conquered by love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Sensitivity to the immense needs of humanity brings with it a spontaneous rejection of the arms race, which is incompatible with the all out struggle against hunger, sickness, under-development and illiteracy.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The measure of your success will be the measure of your generosity.
Pope John Paul II
