More quotes by Pope John XXIII
Justice comes before charity.
Pope John XXIII
The Catholic Church has a dignity far surpassing that of every merely human society, for it was founded by Christ the Lord. It is altogether fitting, therefore, that the language it uses should be noble, majestic, and non-vernacular.
Pope John XXIII
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
Pope John XXIII
It is now for the Catholic Church to bend herself to her work with calmness and generosity. It is for you to observe her with renewed and friendly attention.
Pope John XXIII
Listen to everything, forget much, correct little.
Pope John XXIII
... just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul.
Pope John XXIII
I want to throw open the windows of the Church so that we can see out and the people can see in.
Pope John XXIII
Today the universal common good poses problems of world-wide dimensions, which cannot be adequately tackled or solved except by the efforts of public authorities endowed with a wideness of powers, structure and means of the same proportions that is... on a world-wide basis.
Pope John XXIII
The mark of Cain is stamped upon our foreheads. Across the centuries, our brother Abel was lain in blood which we drew, and shed tears we caused by forgetting Thy love. Forgive us, Lord, for the curse we falsely attributed to their name as Jews. Forgive us for crucifying Thee a second time in their flesh. For we knew not what we did.
Pope John XXIII
The Rosary is a magnificent and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the nations and the entire world.
Pope John XXIII
Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
Pope John XXIII
To keep me from sin and straying from Him, God has used devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. My life vows destined to be spent in the light irradiating from the tabernacle, and it is to the Heart of Jesus that I dare go for the solution of all my problems
Pope John XXIII
Anybody can be Pope the proof of this is that I have become one.
Pope John XXIII
The nations of the world are becoming more and more dependent on one another and it will not be possible to preserve a lasting peace so long as glaring economic and social imbalances persist.
Pope John XXIII
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
Pope John XXIII
The deposit of the faith is one thing... the way it is expressed is another.
Pope John XXIII
There is a common belief that under modern conditions peace cannot be assured except on the basis of an equal balance of armaments...[but] true and lasting peace among nations cannot consist in the possession of an equal supply of armaments but only in mutual trust.
Pope John XXIII
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.
Pope John XXIII
What unites us, is much greater than what divides us.
Pope John XXIII
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfullfilled potential.
Pope John XXIII
