Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Karol Wojtyła
The Mission of the Christian Family According to St. John Paul II
Livio Melina“[S]pouses [do] not only exchange their own human love, but also the most precious thing God has given them—which is the gift of the Spirit—in a process of gradual growth in charity and expansion of their capacity to receive and give divine love.”
A Commentary on John Paul II’s Dominum et vivificantem
Hans Urs von Balthasar“Being fulfilled by God’s Holy Spirit through renunciation, through making space, through becoming poor, is the only mode in which we can come to know God as he is in truth: the Love that can be thought only as a reciprocal ‘self-giving’ in which nothing is held back.”
