“The path of a prophecy”. On the tenth anniversary of the death of Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement, a conference was held on 3rd May promoted by the Italian Embassy to the Holy See in conjunction with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and in collaboration with the Focolare. It was an opportunity for a reflection on the economy in the light of the charism of unity. Mgr. Giovanni Angelo Becciu, the Vatican Deputy Secretary of State, Maria Voce, president of the Focolare Movement, Luigino Bruni, professor of Economics at the LUMSA University of Rome, Leonardo Becchetti, professor of Economics at the University took part of Rome Tor Vergata, and Simona Rizzi, president of the Tassano Servizi Territoriali Consortium. In her speech, Maria Voce said that the Focolare Movement “would not achieve its vocation if it did not implement the first page of the Christian social doctrine, the prayer of the Magnificat in which among other things it says: “He filled the hungry with good things and sent back the rich empty-handed“. The Economy of Communion, born from an inspiration of Chiara Lubich, has given life to a social action model, in dialogue with contemporary culture, particularly in the field of economy, both locally and internationally.
