Pope John Paul II
Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it.
Pope John Paul II
America you are beautiful . . . and blessed . . . . The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life.
Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II
In the depths of the human soul... the desire to give meaning to one's own life is joined by the fleeting vision of beauty and of the mysterious unity of things.
Pope John Paul II
It is unbecoming for a cardinal to ski badly.
Pope John Paul II
Truth must be the foundation stone, the cement to solidify the entire social edifice.

Pope John Paul II
It is the responsibility of Pastors to encourage, also by their personal witness, the practice of Eucharistic adoration, and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in particular, as well as prayer of adoration before Christ present under the Eucharistic species.
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
