awarded to Chiara Lubich
Since 1995 there has been a growing number of recognitions awarded to Chiara Lubich on behalf of international organisations, universities and public offices. These motivations highlight in a particular way the contribution towards peace and unity among peoples, religions and cultures. In Chiara Lubich's addresses on such public ceremonies, she presents in different ways a careful study of the various aspects of the charism entrusted to her by the Holy Spirit, thus attributing the fruit of unity and peace that are thereby recognised.
