The Gospel of Life is not for...

The Gospel of Life is not for believers alone: it is for everyone. The issue of life and its defense and promotion is not a concern of the Christian alone. Although faith provides special light and strength, this question arises in every human conscience which seeks the truth and which cares about the future of humanity. Life certainly has a sacred and religious value, but in no way is that value a concern only of believers. The value at stake is one which every human being can grasp by the light of reason; thus it necessarily concerns everyone.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

Look, I can surely say by now...

Look, I can surely say by now that I've got the antibodies to communism inside me. But when I think of consumer society, with all its tragedies, I wonder which of the two systems is better.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

The obligation to earn one's ...

The obligation to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow also presumes the right to do so. A society in which this right is systematically denied, in which economic policies do not allow workers to reach satisfactory levels of employment, cannot be justified from an ethical point of view, nor can that society attain social peace.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

Only the chaste man and the chaste woman are capable of true love.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

Motherhood implies from the b...

Motherhood implies from the beginning a special openness to the new person: and this is precisely the woman's 'part'. In this openness, in conceiving and giving birth to a child, the woman 'discovers herself through a sincere gift of self'.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

Confidently open your most in...

Confidently open your most intimate aspirations to the Love of Christ who waits for you in the Eucharist. You will receive the answer to all your worries and you will see with joy that the consistency of your life which He asks of you is the door to fulfill the noblest dreams of your youth.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family.

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 511 quotes

Peace is not just the absence...

Peace is not just the absence of war. Like a cathedral, peace must be constructed patiently and with unshakable faith.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

A person's rightful due is to...

A person's rightful due is to be treated as an object of love, not as an object for use.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

A community needs a soul if it is to become a true home for human beings. You.. the people must give it this soul.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

Man's life comes from God: it...

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 511 quotes

Only through the Eucharist is...

Only through the Eucharist is it possible to live the heroic virtues of Christianity: charity, to the point of forgiving one's enemies; love for those who make us suffer; chastity in every age and situation of life; patience in suffering and when one is shocked by the silence of God in the tragedies of history or of one's own personal existence. You must always be Eucharistic souls in order to be authentic Christians

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

All of us experience the sad ...

All of us experience the sad effects of blind submission to consumerism. In the first place it represents crass materialism. At the same time it represents a radical dissatisfaction because one quickly learns that the more one possesses, the more one wants, while deeper aspirations remain unsatisfied and perhaps even stifled.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

It is not enough to long for ...

It is not enough to long for a person as a good for oneself, one must also, and above all, long for that person's good.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

Faced with the sacredness of ...

Faced with the sacredness of life and of the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

For by his incarnation the So...

For by his incarnation the Son of God united himself in a certain way with every man. He labored with human hands... and loved with a human heart. Born of Mary the Virgin, he truly became one of us.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

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 511 quotes

I do not hesitate to proclaim...

I do not hesitate to proclaim before you and before the world that all human life-from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages-is sacred, because human life is created in the image and likeness of God.

Pope John Paul II 511 quotes

God comes to us in the things...

God comes to us in the things we know best and cane verify most easily, the things of our everyday life.
