Georges Bernanos

1888-1948 20th century

Hope as a risk to be run, receiving everything as grace.

Who was Georges Bernanos?

A French novelist and pamphleteer, a tormented and free Catholic. He denounced cowardice and fear, and made grace the heart of his work, from “The Diary of a Country Priest” to “The Dialogues of the Carmelites.”

In their own words

Everything is grace.

The Diary of a Country Priest

Hope is a risk that must be run; it is even the risk of risks.

We do not endure the future, we make it.
