St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 4:23

"Brothers, I want to send all of you away comforted today. So if you ask me my sentiment on the number of those who are saved, here it is: Whether there are many or few that are saved, I say that whoever wants to be saved, will be saved; and that no one can be damned if he does not want to be. And if it is true that few are saved, it is because there are few who live well. As for the rest, compare these two opinions: the first one states that the greater number of Catholics are condemned; the second one, on the contrary, pretends that the greater number of Catholics are saved. Imagine an Angel sent by God to confirm the first opinion, coming to tell you that not only are most Catholics damned, but that of all this assembly present here, one alone will be saved. If you obey the Commandments of God, if you detest the corruption of this world, if you embrace the Cross of Jesus Christ in a spirit of penance, you will be that one alone who is saved.

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 5:01 "We treat salvation like it's relative."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:02 "Hope is the gift, the virtue, that allows us to believe that Jesus wants us to be with Him now and forever."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:47 "God challenges us all the time not to take Him for granted."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 8:45 "Virtue is growing in the tendency to always choose the good."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 11:09 "If you struggle with the fact that God wants you with Him now and forever, you need to look at the Cross; that's His love for you."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 13:43"When you were baptized, you were adopted by God."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 14:32 "Do not look at the lives of Saints and think 'that was easy'"

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 2:28 "We know we are supposed to do good and avoid evil, we know we are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves, but the problem is: we don't do it."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 6:05 "We think 'how can I be a good Samaritan?' But that's jumping ahead. WE are the one's dying in the gutter. Jesus Christ is the Good Samaritan. And He takes on our flesh."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:35 "We'd like to think that this world is under our control. But the truth is God loves us so passionately that he cares about what you do in every moment of every day. And He loves us enough to allow our actions to have meaning."

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:57 "The four last things: death, judgement, heaven and hell." 

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 8:29 "When we come before Jesus in the Eucharist, we are standing before our Just Judge."

 St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 11:10 "The Christological meaning of love of neighbour will shine forth at the second coming of Christ. Indeed at that very moment, it will be seen that the measure by which to judge adherence to Christ is precisely the daily demonstration of love for our neediest brothers and sisters: "I was hungry and you gave me food ..." (cf. Mt 25: 31-46)."
