On receiving the news of the Nobel Peace Prize in December 1979, Mother Teresa said: " I thank God for this great gift, and for making the world acknowledge works of love to be works of peace. Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth, lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; lead me from hate to love, from war to peace; let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe. Peace. Peace. Peace". - In the Crowded Church of St. James in Piccadilly, in the heart of London, Mother Teresa recited the prayer. Currently the prayer is in frequent use in classrooms, in peace meetings, and in meetings of different faith groups, as well as secular groups throughout the world. Mother Teresa commended the prayer to all peacemaker groups.
