Testimony of Hope

Testimony of Hope: The Spiritual Exercises of Pope John Paul IITestimony of Hope: The Spiritual Exercises of Pope John Paul II by Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan, Pauline Books and Media, 2000.

". . . only Christian love can change hearts, not weapons, not threats, and not the media.

It is love that prepares the way for the announcement of the Gospel.

Omnia vincit amor, 'love conquers everything.!'

When love is true, it stirs a response of greater love. Then a person loves and is loved in return, and the new commandment of Jesus, 'Love one another as I have loved you' (Jn 15:12), is realized. Reciprocal love is the fulfillment of the art of loving."

Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan
