More quotes by Pope John XXIII
Prudent is he who can keep silent that part of truth which may be untimely, and by not speaking it, does not spoil the truth of what he said.
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
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 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
What unites us, is much greater than what divides us.
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
The whole world is my family.
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
Relations between States, as between individuals, must be regulated not by armed force, but in accordance with...truth, justice and vigorous and sincere co-operation.
Pope John XXIII
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
Pope John XXIII
Justice comes before charity.
Pope John XXIII
When I eat alone I feel like a seminarian being punished. I tried it for one week and I was not comfortable. Then I searched through Sacred Scripture for something saying I had to eat alone. I found nothing, so I gave it up and it's much better now.
Pope John XXIII
Prayer is the raising of the mind to God. We must always remember this. The actual words matter less.
Pope John XXIII
Anybody can be Pope the proof of this is that I have become one.
Pope John XXIII
Do not walk through time without leaving worthy evidence of your passage.
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
The council now beginning rises in the Church like the daybreak, a forerunner of most splendid light.
Pope John XXIII
I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.
Pope John XXIII
I am made to tremble and I fear!
Pope John XXIII
Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
Pope John XXIII
