You are called to stand up for life! To respect and defend the mystery of life always and everywhere, including the lives of unborn babies, giving real help and encouragement to mothers in difficult situations. You are called to work and pray against abortion.

Pope John Paul II

The sickness of a family member, friend or neighbor is a call to Christians to demonstrate true compassion, that gentle and persevering sharing in another’s pain.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Christian Compassion Pain
The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Family Independence Lying Selfish
The only struggle which religions can justify, the only struggle worthy of humans, is the moral struggle against humanity’s own disordered passions, against every kind of selfishness, against attempts to oppress others, against every type of hatred and violence.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Hatred Passion Struggle
Do not be afraid to be saints. Follow Jesus Christ who is the source of freedom and light. Be open to the Lord so that He may lighten all your ways.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

What have I done with my baptism and confirmation? Is Christ really at the center of my life? Do I have time for prayer in my life? Do I live my life as a vocation and mission?
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Baptism Done Prayer
You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

We are the sum of the Father’s love for us
POPE JOHN PAUL II

You, too, be courageous! The world needs convinced and fearless witnesses. It is not enough to discuss, it is necessary to act!
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Fearless Needs World
The world [is] tired of ideology [and] is opening itself to the truth. The time has come when the splendor of this truth has begun anew to illuminate the darkness of human existence.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Once again, through myself, the Church, in the words of the well-known declaration Nostra Aetate, ‘deplores the hatred, persecutions and displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and by anyone.’ I repeat, ‘By anyone.’
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Those in society who are in charge of schools must never forget that the parents have been appointed by God himself as the first and principal educators of their children and that their right is completely inalienable.

I hurry to express to you and your fellow citizens my profound sorrow and my closeness in prayer for the nation at this dark and tragic moment.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Dark Prayer Profound
…if desire is predominant it can deform love between man and woman and rob them both of it.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Desire Men Women
Take away from love the fullness of self surrender, the completeness of personal commitment, and what remains will be a total denial and negation of it.
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Commitment Denial Self
The priest is not and must not be a civil servant of the Church. Above all the priest is a man who lives for the spirit for God. This being the case the Seminary is the place where he learns ‘to be with Him.’
POPE JOHN PAUL II

Church Men Spirit
The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.
