“We went to the Pope this morning to share with him the life of the Movement and to listen to what he had to say to us,” said Margaret Karram and Jesús Morán, President and Co-President of the Focolare Movement at the end of a private audience with Pope Leo XIV. “It was a meaningful, personal and fraternal meeting. He was interested to hear about our work for peace, for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, for the dialogue with cultures and, especially, for communion between ecclesial movements. He encouraged us to continue spreading the charism throughout the world.”
“At the end,” says Margaret Karram, “I asked him if we could bring his blessing to all those belonging to the Movement. ‘Certainly!’ he replied.”
If you would like to follow Margaret and Jesús’s “live coverage” of this event, tune in tomorrow at 6 p.m. Italian time for the Link-up (the worldwide video conference call).

so very beautiful!!!!!!
Good news that boosts the soul! Thank you.
Overjoyed with this moment of grace. The Charism of Chiara has all the aspects of a Synodal Church.
Everyone in parishes, large and small, is called to become “disciples” in our homes, our professions and in our cities.
Now the Holy Spirit has offered our charism, audibly and visibly, to assist the ministry of Pope Leo XIV.
More than ever a united world is the great mission underlined by Jesus to the Universal Church of today.
congratulations on blessed meeting with our pope.
May we grow in unity and love with our great intention.
Praise God and V happy that Focolare Responsibles could meet with our New Pope, had prayed for it specially on the eve that it would be a great moment for both and the spirit of focolare spread with new,zeal worldwide.
