“I wish that we could all have Easter eyes
Capable of looking
into death, until we see life
into the hurts, until we see forgiveness,
into separation, until we see unity,
into the wounds, until we see glory,
into the human person, until we see God,
into God, until we see the human person,
into Myself until I see You.
And in addition to this, to see the power of Easter!”
(Easter 1993)
Klaus Hemmerle, “La luce dentro le cose”, Città Nuova, Rome 1998, p. 110.
Serve without expecting anything in return
In 1966, Chiara Lubich assigned the first group of focolarini and focolarine to the Philippines. This marked the beginning of the spread of the spirituality of unity across many Asian countries and in Oceania
The Word of God is like a seed which bears fruit when received with an open heart and perseverance and when with it, we manage to overcome difficulties. Jesus invites us not only to listen to it and understand it, but above all to live it concretely every day. By living His Word, we allow Christ to transform the way we think and act, making our lives and the lives of others, fruitful.
“Young people of the world, unite”: this is the invitation that Chiara Lubich extended to the younger generations 60 years ago, so that each one could answer God’s call to live for unity in a practical way
