At the beginning of the new millennium, and at the close of the Great Jubilee during which we celebrated the two thousandth anniversary of the birth … - John Paul II
" "At the beginning of the new millennium, and at the close of the Great Jubilee during which we celebrated the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Jesus and a new stage of the Church's journey begins, our hearts ring out with the words of Jesus when one day, after speaking to the crowds from Simon's boat, he invited the Apostle to "put out into the deep" for a catch: "Duc in altum" (Lk 5:4). Peter and his first companions trusted Christ's words, and cast the nets. "When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish" (Lk 5:6). Duc in altum! These words ring out for us today, and they invite us to remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to look forward to the future with confidence: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever" (Heb 13:8).

Additional quotes by John Paul II
Svetac nije bezgrešan čovjek, bez slabosti, čovjek koji ne podliježe kušnjama, nego je svetac netko tko zna uzeti Boga za ruku, ima odvažnosti uistinu se zagledati u sebe i uvidjeti svoju nesavršenost, ali istodobno ima povjerenja u Boga, u Njegovo milosrđe, te uspijeva, unatoč vlastitim slabostima, izvući iz sebe svu skrivenu ljepotu koja je samo zrcalna slika Božje ljepote. Svetac vrlo čvrsto hoda po zemlji, muči se s raznim problemima, bori se sa svojim slabostima, a istodobno je pun nade.
