Quote of the Day (Pope John Paul II, on Life and Love as a ‘Gift of God Who Heals’)

“Love and life according to the Gospel cannot be thought of first and foremost as a kind of precept, because what they demand is beyond man’s abilities. They are possible only as a result of a gift of God who heals, restores, and transforms the human heart by his grace.”—Pope St. John Paul II, in the encyclical Veritatis Splendor (“The Splendor of Truth”) (Aug. 6, 1993)
