Crossing the Threshold of Hope QUOTES

1 " Original sin is not only the violation of a positive command … but … attempts … to abolish fatherhood, destroying its rays which permeate the created world, placing in doubt the truth about God who is Love and leaving man with only a sense of the master-slave relationship. "

― Pope John Paul II , Crossing the Threshold of Hope

2 " Could God have justified Himself before human history, so full of suffering, without placing Christ's Cross at the center of that history? . . . But God, who besides being Omnipotence is Wisdom and--to repeat once again--Love, desires to justify Himself to mankind. He is not the Absolute that remains outside of the world, indifferent to human suffering. he is Emmanuel, God-with-us, a God who shares man's lot and participates in his destiny. "

― Pope John Paul II , Crossing the Threshold of Hope

3 " Furthermore, since he is weak and sinful, he often does what he detests and not what he desires. "

― Pope John Paul II , Crossing the Threshold of Hope
