Heal the wounds in others
On behalf of the Focolare Movement throughout the world, I express my great joy for the election of Pope Leo XIV as the new Pontiff of the Catholic Church. We thank God for having listened to the prayers of so many people and having, with His Spirit, guided the work...

8 months of navigation, 30 ports, 200 young people. The ship for peace, ‘Bel Espoir’ set sail in March 2025 from Barcelona (Spain) and will continue its voyage until October. Its route will link five shores of the Mediterranean. On board, eight groups of twenty-five young people of various nationalities, cultures and religions that share a common desire to build a better world. They will live together and get to know each other, amid debates and personal experiences, tackling new issues at each stop. Among them are traveling twenty Living Peace ambassadors and other young people from the Focolare Movement. Bertha from Lebanon shares her experience. She is involved in the MediterraNEW project which works for the education of young people, predominately migrants in the Mediterranean.
I ask for urgent fraternal help to pray for the conversion and liberation of Anna Pia; because of a curse from someone we thought was a friend, my wife devastated my family, manipulating my children…whom I haven’t seen or heard from in over two and a half years; we are all suffering so much, you can’t imagine… how much cunning and how much wickedness.
Thank you very much, God bless all prayer initiatives.
