40 years ago Mother Teresa was honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize

40 years ago, on October 17, 1979, the world's largest humanist of Albanian origin, Mother Teresa, was honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize.

As referring to a special article by “Radio Vatican” on this great prize handed down to her by the international jury of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, Albanian Gonge Bojaxhi, climbed to the tribun where the world's most prominent people from all fields, dressed in the sarin of poor Indian women, and accepted the award only because such admission would be worth much to her poor.

Although he avoided interviews that bothered him, on October 17, 1979, when he ascended Oslo Tribuna, receiving the Nobel Prize, Mother Teresa River, Gonge Bojaxhi, one of Mother Teresa's most important talks said:

I have to say I agree to go to different public ceremonies just because I have the opportunity to speak to people who are not known if they would have another chance to hear the word of God. Once, I have also said that it is easier for me to treat a snorkel than to answer in an interview.

A true miracle occurred in Oslo: everyone prayed, in a place where prayer had never been heard. We were gathered in a Hall for the delivery of the prize, as soon as I was able to speak, I said: Since we are all gathered to thank the Lord of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think it would be really nice to pray for peace.

VEEE we all started the prayer of St. Francisco God, make me a messenger of your peace, whose text was delivered to those present. It was really shocking. Touché. Wonderful: Everyone prayed, although known, the number of Catholics in Norway is very small.

And then I talked about abortion. We're celebrating the International Year of the Child. Today I'm telling you about the child who hasn't been born. I speak to you in the name of a child who has not yet seen sunlight. To abort means to condemn a child to death - not wanting a child to live is to kill him. Today, the most dangerous weapon against peace is abortion. Many are interested in the children of India and Africa, where they die thousands of food shortages. But in other lands millions of children are killed by their own parents. And if a mother should kill her child, why should we be surprised when people take each other's souls?

Passing through Rome on the journey back, the Holy Father Pope said to me: Don't forget to talk like in Oslo, wherever you go!
