\u201cThis gift is made possible by the human person’s essential \u2018capacity for transcendence\u2019<\/strong>.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Pope St. John Paul II, 41<\/a><\/h5>\n

\u201c[T]he danger always remains that by a constant refusal to open the doors of their hearts to Christ who knocks on them in the poor, the proud, rich and powerful will end up condemning themselves and plunging into the eternal abyss of solitude which is Hell<\/strong>.\u201d<\/span><\/h5>\n
