The priest is not and must not be a civil servant of the Church. Above all the priest is a man who lives for the spirit for God. This being the case the Seminary is the place where he learns 'to be with Him.'

More quotes by Pope John Paul II
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
Faced with the sacredness of life and of the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude.
Pope John Paul II
The Church has a special duty to safeguard and strengthen the sacredness of the Eucharist. In our pluralistic and often deliberately secularized society, the living faith of the Christian community - a faith always aware of its rights vis-a-vis those who do not share the faith - ensures respect for this sacredness
Pope John Paul II
Creating the human race in His own image and continually keeping it in being, God inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation... of love and communion. Love is therefore the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being.
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
It's too early for a Polish pope.
Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II
The conviction which we must share and spread is that the call to holiness is directed to all Christians. This is not a question of privilege or of spiritual elitism. It is a question of a grace offered to all the baptized.
Pope John Paul II
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
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
Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth.
Pope John Paul II
The earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.
Pope John Paul II
God comes to us in the things we know best and cane verify most easily, the things of our everyday life.
Pope John Paul II
Is not Jesus pointing to children even as models for grownups?
Pope John Paul II
Born and nurtured when the human being first asked questions about the reason for things and their purpose, philosophy shows in different modes and forms that the desire for truth is part of human nature itself.
Pope John Paul II
Your faith will help you realize that it is Jesus Himself Who is present in the Blessed Sacrament, waiting for you and calling you to spend one special specific hour with Him each week.
Pope John Paul II
None of us is alone in this world each of us is a vital piece of the great mosaic of humanity as a whole.
Pope John Paul II
