Focolare Movement

Castel Gandolfo: International convention for adherents of the Focolare Movement

Dec 18, 2015

"Unity: a gift, a commitment and a point of arriva" is the main theme of this event.

 Unity”, the basic point of the spirituality of the Focolare Movement, will be deepened during this meeting, with experiences of people from various cities, where the spirituality lived by many has affected the life of those regions. This is the case of the community of Szeged, Hungary, or Loppiano, in Valdarno, Tuscany and again on ecumenism in Great Britain, and the social field in Brazil. One of the many themes to be discussed is the aspect of communications as a tool used to reach unity; dialogue especially in the ecumenical and interreligious field, and the Focolare Movement’s commitment for peace. The great majority of those participating will be from Italy but also from France, Hungary, Greece and England. For information and bookings: info@focolare.org www.centromariapoli.org

Living the Gospel: “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening” (Lk 24:29)

How can we recognize the presence of Jesus when faced with darkness, injustices and inequalities? When hardship and suffering seem to obscure all hope? The road to Emmaus becomes a symbol of each person’s journey of faith, of our deep desire to rediscover Christ in everyday choices; an encounter that leads to joy and shared testimony. It is the moving invitation that we can all extend to him so that, once he is found, he remains with us and among us.
