Look, I can surely say by now that I've got the antibodies to communism inside me. But when I think of consumer society, with all its tragedies, I wonder which of the two systems is better.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Man's life comes from God: it is his image and imprint, as sharing in his breath of life. God therefore is the sole Lord of this life: Man cannot do with it as he wills.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Love demands effort and a personal commitment to the will of God.
Pope John Paul II
Image
The animals possess a soul and men must love and feel solidarity with our smaller brethren. All animals are fruit of the creative action of the Holy Spirit and merit respect and they are as near to God as men are.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Solidarity is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all
Pope John Paul II
Image
The Rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple and a theologically rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it.
Pope John Paul II
Image
For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time that cannot be forced nine months must go by for the birth of a human child to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research ...To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting.
Pope John Paul II

Truth can prevail only in virtue of truth itself.
Pope John Paul II

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
...all that is carried along by the stream's silvery cascade, rhythmically falling from the mountain, carried by its own current-- carried where?
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
Let us not accept violence as the way of peace. Let us instead begin by respecting true freedom: the resulting peace will be able to satisfy the world's expectations, for it will be a peace built on justice, a peace founded on the incomparable dignity of the free human being.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Give us the grace - When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
To predispose our mind to welcome the Lord who, as we say in the Creed, one day will come to judge the living and the dead, we must learn to recognize him as present in the events of daily life. Therefore, Advent is, so to speak, an intense training that directs us decisively toward him who already came, who will come, and who comes continuously.
Pope John Paul II

Offer Christ your heart in meditation and personal prayer which is the foundation of the spiritual life.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Love of Christ does not distract us from interest in others, but rather invites us to responsibility for them, to the exclusion of no one….
Pope John Paul II
Image
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
Pope John Paul II
Image
I hope to have communion with the people, that is the most important thing.
Pope John Paul II

Our future on this planet, exposed as it is to nuclear annihilation, depends one one single factor: humanity must make a moral about-face.
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.
