Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)
Indeed he was a TRUE man, humble, loving, poweful..
his whole life is a sacrifice and a true via crucis, i wonder what kept him
standing all that time, his faith or his love to humanity?
Jean-Paul II We Love You!!
that's what i can recall from his visit to lebanon in may 97..

some of his quotes:
Mass homily during installation as pope, Oct. 22, 1978:
Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to welcome Christ and accept his power ... Open wide the doors for Christ. To his saving power open the boundaries of states, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization and development.
Christmas Day speech in 1990, as first Gulf War loomed:
War is an adventure without return.
To American cardinals summoned to the Vatican during church sex abuse scandal involving U.S. priests on April 23, 2002:
The abuse which has caused this crisis is by every standard wrong and rightly considered a crime by society; it is also an appalling sin in the eyes of God.
On his 83rd birthday in 2003:
Physical condition or advancing of age are not obstacles to a perfect life. God does not look at external things but at the soul.
Speaking to Spanish youths in Madrid in May, 2003:
I am a young person aged 83.
During his first public audience after dislocating his shoulder in 1993:
I'm all in one piece. I'm not dead yet.
Speaking to reporters early in his reign:
The Pope cannot remain a prisoner of the Vatican. I want to go to everybody...from the nomads of the steppes to the monks and nuns in their convents...I want to cross the threshold of every home.
To diplomats on Jan. 13, 2003, as the Iraq war loomed:
No to war! War is not always inevitable. It is always a defeat for humanity.
To former Haitian president Jean-Claude Duvalier, who sat stone-faced as the Pope visited in 1983:
Things really have to change here.
In Sicily in 1993:
God once said "Do not kill." No human group, Mafia or whatever, can trample on this most sacred law of God.
Addressing Jews during his historic visit to Rome's synagogue in 1986:
You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way it could be said that you are our elder brother.
On Mahatma Ghandi, during a visit to India in 1986:
He was never a Christian and he never pretended to be a Christian, but I learned a lot from him.
In a 1994 letter on the ban on women as priests:
I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.
On Poland's debate in 1996 on whether to liberalize abortion legislation:
A nation that kills its own children has no future.
In a note he wrote on February 24, 2005, after doctors performed a tracheotomy to ease his breathing problems, which left him unable to speak:
What have they done to me?
The Pope's last audible words, on hearing tens of thousands of young people singing in St. Peter's Square as he lay in his deathbed, Friday, April 1, 2005:
I sought you out and now you come to me. Thank you.
And on Lebanon:
"Lebanon is more than a country, it is a message''
God Bless Him
