God loved us to the point of making himself one with us.
He opened up our hearts according to the measure of his heart in order to make us capable of bringing about an outpouring of love and peace in the world.
This is my prayer and my wish for each one of you this Christmas.
Maria Voce (Emmaus)
Enter into communion with the Father
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.
