More From Pope John Paul II

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

I have never had the least sympathy with the a priori reasons against orthodoxy, and i have by nature and disposition the greatest possible antipathy to all the atheistic and infidel school. nevertheless i know that i am, in spite of myself, exactly what the christian would call, and, so far as i can see, is justified in calling, atheist and infidel.

On the way from the renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a supreme complete entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility. we have placed too much hope in political and social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our most precious possession: our spiritual life. in the east, it is destroyed by the dealings and machinations of the ruling party. in the west, commercial interests tend to suffocate it. this is the real crisis.
