Gospel in Action

Feb 19, 2013

A New Evangelization Day by Day. Gary Brandl and Tom Ess, OFM, Editors

With an Introduction by Brendan Leahy How do people know you are a Christian? We are evangelized by the living example of others. Gospel in Action tells the stories of ordinary people making choices in the course of ordinary events – bartending, teaching at a university, working as a nurse, as a priest in a parish, among school friends, in competitive business environments, at the neighborhood block party. But, since these people make choices based on their desire to put the gospel into action, their choices have unique effects on those around them. The result is a colorful mosaic of the communion of saints – of both timeless and timely examples of how small choices rooted in God-Love evangelize the world around us. Orders: New City Press (NY)

Unity: A Priority for Maria Voce (Emmaus)

On 20 June 2026, we mark the first anniversary of the passing of Maria Voce (Emmaus), the first President of the Focolare Movement (2008–2021) after Chiara Lubich. As we remember her, we asked ourselves: how did Emmaus live out unity in everyday life? The focolarine who lived with her during her final years recount a number of small episodes—little “acts of love” if you will —that reveal how mutual love, lived faithfully in every circumstance, lays the foundations for receiving unity as a gift from God.
