Pope John Paul II quotes about
prayer sacrifice desire
The unworthy successor of Peter who desires to benefit from the immeasurable wealth of Christ feels the great need of your assistance, your prayers, your sacrifice, and he most humbly asks this of you.
christian suffering today
The distinctive mark of the Christian, today more than ever, must be love for the poor, the weak, the suffering.
goal target life-is
The goal and target of our life is He, the Christ who awaits us -- each one singly and altogether -- to lead us across the boundaries of time to the eternal embrace of the God who loves us.

Make your lives intensely Eucharistic.
mercy-of-god mercy source
Apart from the mercy of God, there is no other source of hope for mankind.
jesus heart god-love
In the Mass and in Eucharistic Adoration we meet the merciful love of God that passes through the Heart of Jesus Christ.
jesus blessed waiting
Your faith will help you realize that it is Jesus Himself Who is present in the Blessed Sacrament, waiting for you and calling you to spend one special specific hour with Him each week.

The fear of making permanent commitments can change the mutual love of husband and wife into two loves of self-two loves existing side by side, until they end in separation.
world sacred life-is
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.
christian order silence
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
rights pro-life impossible
To be actively pro-life is to contribute to the renewal of society through the promotion of the common good. It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop.
christ invisible god-is-with-us
Christ is the sacrament of the invisible God - a sacrament that indicates presence. God is with us.
heart evil decision
Forgiveness is above all a personal choice, a decision of the heart to go against the natural instinct to pay back evil with evil.
father
We are the sum of the Father's love for us
