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.

More quotes by Pope John Paul II
The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family... The family is placed at the center of the great struggle between good and evil, between life and death, between love and all that is opposed to love.
Pope John Paul II
This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel. It is the time to preach it from the rooftops. Do not be afraid to break out of comfortable and routine modes of living in order to take up the challenge of making Christ known in the modern metropolis.
Pope John Paul II
The man who wishes to understand himself thoroughly must with his unrest, uncertainty, and even his weakness and sinfulness, with his life and death, draw near to Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth- in a word, to know himself- so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.
Pope John Paul II
A good leader sees everything, overlooks a great deal, and corrects a little.
Pope John Paul II
The modern world, a world which has experienced marvelous achievements but which seems to have lost its sense of ultimate realities and of existence itself.
Pope John Paul II
We need to make our own the ancient pastoral wisdom which... encouraged Pastors to listen more widely to the entire People of God. Significant is Saint Benedict's reminder to the Abbot of a monastery, inviting him to consult even the youngest members of the community: By the Lord's inspiration, it is often a younger person who knows what is best
Pope John Paul II
Open your minds and hearts to the beauty of all that God has made and to His special, personal love for each one of you.
Pope John Paul II
Jesus himself has shown us by his own example that prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil.
Pope John Paul II
And everything else will then turn out to be unimportant and inessential except this: father, child, and love. And then, looking at the simplest things, we will all say, Could we have not learned this long ago? Has this not always been embedded in everything that is?
Pope John Paul II
Limitation of one's freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love.
Pope John Paul II
Friendship, as has been said, consists in a full commitment of the will to another person with a view to that person's good.
Pope John Paul II
the path of goodness had a name it is called Love in it we find the key to every hope and has it's root in God Himself
Pope John Paul II
Gandhi was much more Christian than many people who say they are Christians.
Pope John Paul II
Through Mary, we come to her Son more easily.
Pope John Paul II
Peoples of the entire world need to hear these words. Their conscience needs to grow in the certainty that Someone exists who holds in His Hands the destiny of this passing world... And this Someone is Love- Love that became Man, Love crucified and risen, Love unceasingly present among men. It is Eucharistic Love.
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
If you wish to be brothers, drop your weapons.
Pope John Paul II
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
Motherhood implies from the beginning a special openness to the new person: and this is precisely the woman's 'part'. In this openness, in conceiving and giving birth to a child, the woman 'discovers herself through a sincere gift of self'.
Pope John Paul II
