It’s Christmas! The Word became a human being and set love alight on earth. It’s Christmas! And we would never wish the sun to set on this day. Teach us, O Lord, how to preserve your presence among us. It’s Christmas! Let your love, set alight on earth, burn our hearts and let us love one another as you desire! Then you will be there among us. And every day, if we love one another, can be Christmas. Chiara Lubich (Taken from Christmas Joy, New City, London 1998, p.59) |
Here I am!
Jesus’ death on the cross reveals a man so deeply rooted in a relationship with the Father that he is able to trust Him completely, up to the very end. And it is for this reason that Calvary becomes the precious vessel in which all of God’s love for us is gathered. Igino Giordani’s words invite us to make room for silence and attentive listening, so that we can begin this path of contemplation, redemption, and communion with God and with one another.
During Holy Week 2026, we want to offer an excerpt from Chiara Lubich’s diary written on Holy Thursday, 11 April 1968.
50 years after the publication of Card.François-Xavier Nguyễn Vân Thuân’s most famous book, an event was held in the Lateran Palace in Rome, streamed in seven languages. A new biography of the well-known witness of hope was also launched.
