Pope John Paul I quotes
Pope John Paul I was the head of the Roman Catholic Church for 33 days in 1978. Often called the "Smiling Pope," he was known for his warmth and humility. He left a lasting impression despite his brief papacy. Here are 6 of his quotes:
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.
