Young people of Ireland, I love you.
Pope John Paul II
Speech in Galway, Ireland, September 1979

Violence is a lie, for it goes against the truth of our faith, the truth of our humanity, the life, the freedom of human beings. Violence is a crime against humanity, for it destroys the very fabric of society … On my knees I beg you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the ways of peace ... Let history record that at a difficult moment in the experience of the people of Ireland, the Bishop of Rome set foot in your land, that he was with you and prayed with you for peace and reconciliation, for the victory of justice and love over hatred and violence.
Pope John Paul II
Appeal to IRA in Drogheda, Ireland, September 1979

It proved to be a medicine more dangerous than the disease itself. It did not bring about true social reform, yet it did become a powerful threat and challenge to the entire world. But it fell by itself, because of its own inherent weakness.
Pope John Paul II
Asked if fall of USSR could be ascribed to God

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people
and hallelujah is our song.

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

Pope John Paul II

True holiness does not mean a flight from the world; rather, it lies in the effort to incarnate the Gospel in everyday life, in the family, at school and at work, and in social and political involvement.
Pope John Paul II

The worst prison would be a closed heart.
Pope John Paul II

A family policy must be the basis and driving force of all social policies.
Pope John Paul II
