  • If you really wish to follow Christ, if you want your love for him to grow and last, then you must be faithful to prayer. It is the key to the vitality of your life in Christ.

And your heart will know deep joy and peace, such as the world could never give.

    Heart  
    Pope John Paul II (2002). “Pope John Paul II in My Own Words”, Gramercy Books
  • Prayer can truly change your life. For it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart toward the Lord. If we look only at ourselves, with our own limitations and sins, we quickly give way to sadness and discouragement. But if we keep our eyes fixed on the Lord, then our hearts are filled with hope, our minds are washed n the light of truth, and we come to know the fullness of the Gospel with all is promise and life.

    Heart

  • 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.

    Heart  
  • The most faithful disciples of Christ have been builders of peace, to the point of forgiving their enemies, sometimes even to the point of giving their lives for them.

  • Nobody is so poor he has nothing to give, and nobody is so rich he has nothing to receive.

  • The Eucharist is the full realization of the worship which humanity owes to God, and it cannot be compared to any other religious experience.... The risen Lord ... calls the faithful together to give them the light of His Word and the nourishment of His Body as the perennial sacramental wellspring of redemption. The grace flowing from this wellspring renews mankind, life, and history.

    Pope John Paul II (2003). “Go in Peace: A Gift of Enduring Love”, p.139, Loyola Press
  • Prayer gives us strength for great ideals, for keeping up our faith, charity, purity, generosity; prayer gives us strength to rise up from indifference and guilt, if we have had the misfortune to give in to temptation and weakness. Prayer gives us light by which to see and to judge from God's perspective and from eternity. That is why you must not give up on praying!

  • Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another.

  • We began by imagining that we are giving to the; we end by realizing that they have enriched us.

    Pope John Paul II (1980). “Pilgrimage of peace: the collected speeches of John Paul II in Ireland and the United States”, HarperCollins
  • Motherhood involves a special communion with the mystery of life, as it develops in the mother's womb. The mother is filled with wonder at this mystery of life, and 'understands' with unique intuition what is happening inside her. In the light of the 'beginning', the mother accepts and loves as a person the child she is carrying in her womb. This unique contact with the new human being developing within her gives rise to an attitude towards human beings - not only towards her own child, but every human being - which profoundly marks the woman's personality.

  • To humanity, which sometimes seems to be lost and dominated by the power of evil, selfishness and fear, the risen Lord gives the gift of His love which forgives, reconciles and reopens the soul to hope.

  • 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'.

    John Paul II, Brooke Williams Deely (2014). “Pope John Paul II Speaks on Women”, p.154, CUA Press
  • Christian holiness does not being sinless, but rather it means struggling not to give in and always getting up after every fall.

  • The Gospel must not be kept hidden because of fear or indifference. It was never meant to be hidden away in private. It has to be put on a stand so that people may see its light and give praise to our Heavenly Father.

    Pope John Paul II (2000). “Celebrate the Third Millennium: Facing the Future with Hope”, G K Hall & Company
  • In the depths of the human soul... the desire to give meaning to one's own life is joined by the fleeting vision of beauty and of the mysterious unity of things.

  • The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities of service to the Church and to the whole world. . . . Let Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament speak to your hearts. It is he who is the true answer of life that you seek. He stays here with us: he is God with us. Seek him without tiring, welcome him without reserve, love him without interruption: today, tomorrow, forever.

    Heart  
  • None are so poor that they have nothing to give...and none are so rich that they have nothing to receive.

    Pope John Paul II (2012). “A Pilgrim Pope: Messages for the World”, p.268, Andrews McMeel Publishing
  • If He asks much of you, it is because He knows you can give much.

  • Give us the grace - When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.

  • Prayer gives us light by which to see and to judge from God's perspective and from eternity. That is why you must not give up on praying!

  • 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.
