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
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
From now on it is only through a conscious choice and through a deliberate policy that humanity can survive.
Pope John Paul II
The body in its masculinity and femininity has been called from the beginning to become the manifestation of the spirit. The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and the divine.
Pope John Paul II
Never tire of firmly speaking out in defense of life from its conception and do not be deterred from the commitment to defend the dignity of every human person with courageous determination. Christ is with you: be not afraid!
Pope John Paul II
Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God.
Pope John Paul II
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
Is not Jesus pointing to children even as models for grownups?
Pope John Paul II
Have no fear of moving into the unknown.
Pope John Paul II
Love the family! Defend and promote it as the basic cell of human society nurture it as the prime sanctuary of life. Give great care to the preparation of engaged couples and be close to young married couples, so that they will be for their children and the whole community an eloquent testimony of God's love.
Pope John Paul II
I hurry to express to you and your fellow citizens my profound sorrow and my closeness in prayer for the nation at this dark and tragic moment.
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
If development is the new name for peace, war and preparations for war are the major enemy of the healthy development of peoples. If we take the common good of all humanity as our norm, instead of individual greed, peace would be possible.
Pope John Paul II
I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.
Pope John Paul II
Take away from love the fullness of self surrender, the completeness of personal commitment, and what remains will be a total denial and negation of it.
Pope John Paul II
By dialogue, we let God be present in our midst, for as we open ourselves to one another, we open ourselves to God.
Pope John Paul II
We can pray perfectly when we are out in the mountains or on a lake and we feel at one with nature. Nature speaks for us or rather speaks to us. We pray perfectly.
Pope John Paul II
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
In Christ and through Christ man has acquired full awareness of his dignity, of the heights to which he is raised, of the surpassing worth of his own humanity, and of the meaning of his existence.
Pope John Paul II
People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him.
Pope John Paul II
Everybody that is just is called to form part of the Kingdom of Heaven-whether they be Buddhas, Jews, or Atheists-as long as they are good.
Pope John Paul II
