Father’s Day - Meditation on the reflections of the late Pope John Paul II <br/><br/>
We always feel unworthy of Christ’s friendship.  But it is a good thing that we should have a holy fear of not remaining faithful to it. (to priests, 1988)<br/><br/>
Only the human person, created in the image and likeness of God, is capable of raising a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to the Creator. The Earth, with all its creatures, and  the entire universe call on man to be their voice. ("Homily at San Antonio", 1987)<br/><br/>
To evangelize is to give an account to all of the hope that is in us. ("Message for World Migration Day" , 1997)<br/><br/>
Love is the gift of self.  It means emptying oneself to reach out to others.  In a certain sense, it means forgetting oneself for the good of others. ("True Human Love Reflects the Divine", 1993)<br/><br/>
The power of Christ’s Cross and Resurrection is greater than any evil which man could or should fear. ( "Crossing the Threshold of Hope")<br/><br/>
God can use our weakness as easily as our strength in order to accomplish his will. ( Meeting  with  Priests,  Miami, 1987)<br/><br/>
Those who suffer are no burden to others, but with their suffering contribute to the salvation of all. ("Meeting with the Sick and Suffering", 1998)
