St. John Paul II Foundation

"Nowadays it is sometimes held, though wrongly, that freedom is an end in itself, that each human being is free when he makes use of freedom as he wishes…Christ teaches us that the best use of freedom is charity, which takes concrete form in self-giving and in service. For this 'freedom Christ has set us free' and ever continues to set us free...The full truth about human freedom is indelibly inscribed on the mystery of the Redemption."

- St. John Paul II, Redemptor hominis, 1979

"The Heart of the Lord Jesus is the starting-point of the holiness of each one of us. From the Heart of the Lord Jesus let us learn the love of God and understanding of the mystery of sin — mysterium iniquitatis....

Heart of Jesus, burning flame of love,
Heart of Jesus, fount of life and holiness,
Heart of Jesus, expiation for our sins
— have mercy on us. Amen."

St. John Paul II, June 11, 1999

St. John Paul II reminds us that in the Eucharist "the invisible face of Christ, the Son of God, is manifest in his Body and Blood in the simplest and, at the same time, the most exalted way possible in this world."

St. John Paul II, Homily on June 14, 2001
