The truth is not always the same as the majority decision. ~Blessed John Paul II

“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.” Blessed Pope John Paul II

An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded. ~Blessed John Paul II

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought. ~Blessed John Paul II

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song. ~Blessed John Paul II
