ทรงเคยเขียนหนังสือเด็กด้วยนะ
For the Children by Pope John Paul II
ทรงเคยออกสมณสาร(แถลงการณ์ที่เป็นทางการ)เกี่ยวกับเด็กๆไว้หลายฉบับ
But how can we forget the mood of celebration of the
first great gathering dedicated to children? In a way, to begin
with them meant respecting Christ's command: "Let
the children come to me" (Mk 10:14). Perhaps even more it meant
doing what he did when he placed a child in the midst of the disciples
and made it the very symbol of the attitude which we should have if
we wish to enter the Kingdom of God (cf. Mt 18:2-4)".
(H. H. John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Novo millennio ineunte)
ทรงพูดถึงสิทธิเด็ก และการให้ความสำคัญกับเด็ก
In memory of the day on which Mary conceived the Child Jesus, I would
like to send a special blessing to women who are expecting a child and,
in particular, to those who find themselves in difficult circumstances.
To all of them I say: A child conceived is always
an invitation to live and hope ".
(H. H. John Paul II, Sunday 25th March 2001)
ทรงเรียกร้องถึงการที่ทุกวันนี้เด็กมากมายตกเป็นเหยื่อของสงครามและความอดอยาก
"Is it not true that in vast areas of the globe, children
are unfortunately still victims of hunger, wars, appalling illnesses
such as AIDS and the perversion of unscrupulous adults, which threaten
their innocence and gravely jeopardize their future?"
(H. H. John Paul II to the General Chapter of the Benedictine Sisters
of Divine Providence, 25th August 2000)
