I. János Pál pápa idézet

I. János Pál pápa a 263. római pápa 1978-ban.

Mindössze 33 napos uralkodása nem tette lehetővé, hogy bíborosokat nevezzen ki, és nem jutott idő pápai kinyilatkoztatások kiadására sem. Egyszerű, közvetlen és derűs személyisége miatt azonnal óriási népszerűségre tett szert, ezért a köznyelv elnevezte „mosolygós pápának”. Nyilatkozatai szerint folytatni kívánta a második vatikáni zsinat által elindított reformfolyamatokat, valamint alapvető változásokat tervezett a katolikus egyház működésében. Wikipedia

I. János Pál pápa: Idézetek angolul

“People sometimes say: "we are in a society that is all rotten, all dishonest." That is not true. There are still so many good people, so many honest people.”

Angelus (24 September 1978) http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_i/angelus/documents/hf_jp-i_ang_24091978_en.html
Kontextus: People sometimes say: "we are in a society that is all rotten, all dishonest." That is not true. There are still so many good people, so many honest people. Rather, what can be done to improve society? I would say: let each of us try to be good and to infect others with a goodness imbued with the meekness and love taught by Christ. Christ's golden rule was: "do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself. Do to others what you want done to yourself." 'And he always gave. Put on the cross, not only did he forgive those who crucified him, but he excused them. He said: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." This is Christianity, these are sentiments which, if put into practice would help society so much.

“We are the objects of undying love on the part of God. We know: he has always his eyes open on us, even when it seems to be dark. He is our father; even more he is our mother.”

Angelus (10 September 1978) http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_i/angelus/documents/hf_jp-i_ang_10091978_en.html; in an audience with Philippine bishops on 28 September 1978, he further elaborated: According to tales told by ancient men to attain their political objectives "God is the Father." According to what we really know "God is the Mother."
Kontextus: We are the objects of undying love on the part of God. We know: he has always his eyes open on us, even when it seems to be dark. He is our father; even more he is our mother. He does not want to hurt us, He wants only to do good to us, to all of us. If children are ill, they have additional claim to be loved by their mother. And we too, if by chance we are sick with badness, on the wrong track, have yet another claim to be loved by the Lord.

“Those who travel in the stratosphere are in danger of not being prudent, when they are full of knowledge acquired purely from books.”

"Letter to St Bernard" in Illustrissimi (1976), p. 53
Kontextus: Let me give an example. It is far away in time but a classic case … In 1815, the official French newspaper Le Moniteur, showed its readers how to follow Napoleon's progress: 'The brigand flees from the island of Elba '; 'The usurper arrives at Grenoble'; ' Napoleon enters Lyons'; 'The Emperor reaches Paris this evening'. What an amazing turnabout! This must not be compared with prudence, just as it isn't prudent to have a stubborn attitude and to take no account of what is obviously real or to become excessively rigid and zealously upright, more loyalist than the king, more papist than the pope.
This happens. Some people seize on an idea, then bury it and guard it for the rest of their lives, defending it jealously without ever examining it again, without ever trying to check what has become of it after all the rain and wind and storms of events and changes.
Those who travel in the stratosphere are in danger of not being prudent, when they are full of knowledge acquired purely from books. They can never get away from what is written, are always busy analyzing, pointing out subtleties, perpetually splitting hairs.
Life is quite another matter.

“Put on the cross, not only did he forgive those who crucified him, but he excused them. He said: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." This is Christianity, these are sentiments which, if put into practice would help society so much.”

“The Prioress, Sister Theresa of St Augustine, was the last, and her last words were the following: "Love will always be victorious, love can do everything." That was the right word, not violence, but love, can do everything. Let us ask the Lord for the grace that a new wave of love for our neighbour may sweep over this poor world.”

Angelus (24 September 1978)
Kontextus: Pius X, in 1906, right here in Rome, had beatified the sixteen Carmelites of Compiègne, martyrs during the French revolution. During the trial they were condemned "to death for fanaticism". And one of them asked in her simplicity: "Your Honour, what does fanaticism mean?" And the judge: "It is your foolish membership of religion." "Oh, Sisters, she then said, did you hear, we are condemned for our attachment to faith. What happiness to die for Jesus Christ!"
They were brought out of the prison of the Conciergerie, and made to climb into the fatal cart. On the way they sang hymns; when they reached the guillotine, one after the other knelt before the Prioress and renewed the vow of obedience. Then they struck up "Veni Creator"; the song, however, became weaker and weaker, as the heads of the poor Sisters fell, one by one, under the guillotine. The Prioress, Sister Theresa of St Augustine, was the last, and her last words were the following: "Love will always be victorious, love can do everything." That was the right word, not violence, but love, can do everything. Let us ask the Lord for the grace that a new wave of love for our neighbour may sweep over this poor world.

“Yesterday, a funny thing happened to me on my way to the Conclave.”

Address to the crowd in St Peter's Square (27 August 1978), the day after his election, as quoted in In God's Name (1987) by David Yallop, p. 132

“Even the young are killing each other.”

Upon hearing that neo-fascist youth had attacked other youth reading a communist paper, as quoted in "From the archive, 30 September 1978: Pope John Paul I dies of heart attack" by George Armstrong, in The Guardian (30 September 2013) http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/sep/30/pope-john-paul-1-death-vatican

“I come without five lire. I want to leave without five lire.”

On being appointed as Bishop of Vittorio Veneto (December 1958), Luciani declined gifts offered to him by the priests of the diocese; as quoted in In God's Name (1984) by David Yallop, p. 44

“I am at best on the C list for Pope.”

Remarks to journalists in August 1978, shortly before departing for the Conclave at which he was elected Pope, as quoted in In God's Name (1984) by David Yallop, Ch. 2 : The Empty Throne
