More quotes by 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 Rosary mystically transports us to Mary's side as she is busy watching over the human growth of Christ in the home of Nazareth. This enables her to train us and to mold us with the same care, until Christ is ''fully formed'' in us... Why should we not once more have recourse to the Rosary, with the same faith as those who have gone before us?
Pope John Paul II
Image
The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Christ is the sacrament of the invisible God - a sacrament that indicates presence. God is with us.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The only struggle which religions can justify, the only struggle worthy of humans, is the moral struggle against humanity's own disordered passions, against every kind of selfishness, against attempts to oppress others, against every type of hatred and violence.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Contraception contradicts the full truth of the sexual act as the proper expression of conjugal love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The sickness of a family member, friend or neighbor is a call to Christians to demonstrate true compassion, that gentle and persevering sharing in another's pain.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church counters the culture of death with the culture of love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The distinctive mark of the Christian, today more than ever, must be love for the poor, the weak, the suffering.
Pope John Paul II
Image
A man shows himself a true disciple of Christ by carrying the cross in his turn every day in the activity that he is called to perform.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Jesus Christ has taken the lead on the way of the cross. He has suffered first. He does not drive us toward suffering but shares it with us, wanting us to have life and to have it in abundance.
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
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
May the death penalty, an unworthy punishment still used in some countries, be abolished throughout the world.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Truth can never be confined to time and culture in history it is known, but it also reaches beyond history.
Pope John Paul II
Image
To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate the face of Christ with Mary.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Deepen you knowledge of Jesus which ends loneliness, overcomes sadness and uncertainty, gives real meaning to life, curbs passions, exalts ideals, expands energies in charity, brings light into decisive choices. Let Christ be for you the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Forgiveness is above all a personal choice, a decision of the heart to go against the natural instinct to pay back evil with evil.
Pope John Paul II
