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

Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfullfilled potential.
Pope John XXIII

I am made to tremble and I fear!
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
Image

The Rosary is a school for learning true Christian perfection.
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
Image
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
Image
The social progress, order, security and peace of each country are necessarily connected with the social progress, order, security and peace of all other countries.
Pope John XXIII
Image
Prayer is the raising of the mind to God. We must always remember this. The actual words matter less.
Pope John XXIII
Image
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
Image
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

Do not walk through time without leaving worthy evidence of your passage.
Pope John XXIII

We supplicate all rulers not to remain deaf to the cry of mankind. Let them do everything in their power to save peace. By so doing they will spare the world the horrors of a war that would have disastrous consequences, such as nobody can foresee.
