You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Faced with the widespread destruction of the environment, people everywhere are coming to understand that we cannot continue to use the goods of the earth as we have in the past ... [A] new ecological awareness is beginning to emerge which rather than being downplayed, ought to be encouraged to develop into concrete programs and initiatives.
Pope John Paul II
Image
It is not enough to long for a person as a good for oneself, one must also, and above all, long for that person's good.
Pope John Paul II
Image
In this silence of the white Host, carried in the Monstrance, are all His words there is His whole life given in offering to the Father for each of us there is also the glory of the glorified body, which started with the Resurrection, and still continues in Heavenly union.
Pope John Paul II
Image
When Sunday loses its fundamental meaning and becomes subordinate to a secular concept of weekend dominated by such things as entertainment and sport, people stay locked within a horizon so narrow that they can no longer see the heavens.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The legal toleration of abortion or of euthanasia can in no way claim to be based on respect for the conscience of others, precisely because society has the right and the duty to protect itself against the abuses which can occur in the name of conscience and under the pretext of freedom.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Church must persist in the teaching transmitted to her by Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Through Mary, we come to her Son more easily.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Thus to share in the sufferings of Christ is, at the same time, to suffer for the kingdom of God. In the eyes of the just God, before his judgment. Those who share in the sufferings of Christ become worthy of this kingdom.
Pope John Paul II
Image
If the communications media are a good destined for all humanity, then ever-new means must be found - including recourse to opportune legislative measures - to make possible a true participation in their management by all. The culture of co-responsibility must be nurtured.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Chastity is a difficult long term matter, one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit for the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring. But at the same time chastity is the sure way to happiness.
Pope John Paul II
Image
An important day in a young person's life is the day on which he becomes convinced that Christ is the only Friend who will not disappoint him, on which he can always count.
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
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
Euthanasia and assisted suicide are never acceptable acts of mercy. They always gravely exploit the suffering and desperate, extinguishing life in the name of the 'quality of life' itself.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Christians, in particular, realize that their responsibility within creation and their duty towards nature and the Creator are an essential part of their faith.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Gospel of life must be proclaimed and human life defended in all places and all times.
Pope John Paul II
Image
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.
