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
A man shows himself a true disciple of Christ by carrying the cross in his turn every day in the activity that he is called to perform.
Pope John Paul II
In the sacrifice which Jesus Christ makes of Himself on the Cross for His bride, the Church... there is entirely revealed that plan which God has imprinted on the humanity of man and woman since their creation.
Pope John Paul II
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
Each man, in his suffering, can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ.
Pope John Paul II
Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it.
Pope John Paul II
If He asks much of you, it is because He knows you can give much.
Pope John Paul II
Gandhi was much more Christian than many people who say they are Christians.
Pope John Paul II
Believers do not surrender. They can continue on their way to the truth because they are certain that God has created them explorers, whose mission is to leave no stone unturned, though the temptation to doubt is always there. Leaning on God, they continue to reach out, always and everywhere, for all that is beautiful, good, and true.
Pope John Paul II
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
Rediscover the Rosary in the light of scripture, in harmony with the Liturgy, and in the context of your daily lives.
Pope John Paul II
To the family is entrusted the task of striving, first and foremost, to unleash the forces of good.
Pope John Paul II
The mystery of the Holy Night, which historically happened two thousand years ago, must be lived as a spiritual event in the 'today' of the Liturgy, the Pope clarified. The Word who found a dwelling in Mary's womb comes to knock on the heart of every person with singular intensity this Christmas.
Pope John Paul II
We need a new apologetic, geared to the needs of today, which keeps in mind that our task is not to win arguments but to win souls... Such an apologetic will need to breathe a spirit of humanity, that humility and compassion which understand the anxieties and questions of people.
Pope John Paul II
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
The world looks to the priest, because it looks to Jesus! No one can see Christ but everyone sees the priest, and through him they wish to catch a glimpse of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur and dignity of the priest!
Pope John Paul II
The most faithful disciples of Christ have been builders of peace, to the point of forgiving their enemies, sometimes even to the point of giving their lives for them.
Pope John Paul II
A just wage for the worker is the ultimate test of whether any economic system is functioning justly.
Pope John Paul II
Do you think that there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?
Pope John Paul II
Hands are the heart's landscape.
Pope John Paul II
I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.
Pope John Paul II
