The Evangelical Pope | Be Who You Are
Living Words from John Paul II
Edited by Abraham A. van Kempen
Published Sunday, June 18, 2023
Each week we let Saint Pope John Paul II share meaningful signposts to spark socio-economic resolves through justice and righteousness combined with mercy and compassion; in short, love.
16 Just then, a man approached Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do … ?”
__ Matthew 19:16 (New International Version)
Asunción, Paraguay, 18 de mayo de 1988 I Do not seek happiness in pleasure, possession of material goods, or pursuing power. People are happy because of what they are and not because of what they have. Happiness lies in the heart, in love, in surrendering to the good of others, without wanting to get anything in return.
