A Message from Father Mark Jette
HUMOROUS QUOTES FROM POPE ST. JOHN XXIII
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about the serious problems afflicting the world and I tell myself: I must talk to the pope about it. Then the next day when I wake up, I remember that I am the pope.
In reply to a reporter who asked: How many people work at the Vatican?,
he answered: About half of them.
When a cardinal complained that a raise in Vatican salaries meant a particular usher earned as much as the cardinal, he remarked:
That usher has ten children. I hope the cardinal doesn’t.
Not long after he was elected pope, he was walking in the streets of Rome.
A woman passed by and said to a friend: My God, he’s so fat!
He turned around and replied:
Madam, the papal conclave is not exactly a beauty contest.
He once asked a boy what he wanted to be when he grew up. The boy said either a policeman or a pope.
He replied: I would go in for the police if I were you. Anyone can become pope. The proof of this is that I have become one.
Pope John (formerly Angelo Roncalli) met a boy named Angelo. He said:
That was my name too, but then they made me change it!
When he visited a friend at the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, the nun at the door said: Holy Father, I am the mother superior of the Holy Spirit.
He replied: Lucky you! What a job! I’m just the servant of the servants of God.
He once wrote: Italians generally come to ruin in three ways - women, gambling, and farming. My father chose the most boring one.
Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar but the best improve with age.
