A Security Which the World Cannot Take Away

“Christian peace is rooted in faith, nourished by hope, and perfected by love. It is a peace which is not achieved directly by man, but given by God to those who are disposed to receive it. […] When you realize that God has found a home in your spirit, which is the apex of your soul, you feel a security which the world can neither give nor take away.”

— John C. H. Wu, 1952
Chinese writer and ambassador to the Holy See
