Pope John Paul IIThe cross means there is no shipwreck without hope; there is no dark without dawn; nor storm without haven.
Pope John Paul IIWe began by imagining that we are giving to the; we end by realizing that they have enriched us.
Pope John Paul IIOn my knees, I beg of you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the path of peace. Those who resort to violence always claim that only violence brings about change. You must know there is a political, peaceful way to justice.
Pope John Paul II
