Chiara Lubich

  • Nothing good, nothing useful, nothing fruitful can be achieved in the world without accepting the effort and embracing suffering; in a word, without the cross.

    Committing oneself at all times to live mutual love, to build peace and to promote solidarity is not something to be taken lightly! It calls for courage and knowing how to suffer.

    Paris, 17 December 1996, UNESCO Peace Prize
