“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”

John Paul II
“Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create.”
John Paul II“Pope John Paul II once said as well, “Lebanon is a message more than it is a country.” Now this diversity has turned into fragmentation and the richness into poverty, awaiting a miraculous remedy.”
Rami Ollaik, The Bees Road“I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.”
John Paul II, Pope John Paul II: In My Own Words“On one hand the eternal attraction of man towards femininity (cf. Gn. 2:23) frees in him-or perhaps it should free-a gamut of spiritual-corporal desires of an especially personal and "sharing" nature (cf. analysis of the "beginning"), to which a proportionate pyramid of values corresponds. On the other hand, "lust" limits this gamut, obscuring the pyramid of values that marks the perennial attraction of male and female.”
John Paul II, Purity of Heart: Reflections on Love and Lust / Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body in Simple Language, Vol. 2“The term 'person' has been coined to signify that a man cannot be wholly contained within the concept 'individual member of the species', but that there is something more to him, a particular richness and perfection in the manner of his being, which can only be brought out by the use of the word 'person'.”
John Paul II“Life is entrusted to man as a treasure which must not be squandered, as a talent which must be used well.”
John Paul II“The human being is single, unique, and unrepeatable, someone thought of and chosen from eternity, someone called and identified by name”
John Paul II“Learning to think rigorously, so as to act rightly and to serve humanity better.”
John Paul II“A democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly disguised totalitarianism.”
