John Paul II quote of the day (Sept. 1)

The Church, however, which has no weapons at her disposal apart from those of the spirit, of the word and of love, cannot renounce her proclamation of "the word … in season and out of season". For this reason she does not cease to implore each side of the two and to beg everybody in the name of God and in the name of man: Do not kill! Do note prepare destruction and extermination for men! Think of your brothers and sisters who are suffering hunger and misery! Respect each one's dignity and freedom!

-Redemptor Hominis
