During the week 26 August – 2 September, in Amatrice and Borbona, the two central Italian regions badly hit by the earthquake, various initiatives will be held for children, teenages and senior citizens. These are being organised by the young people of the Focolare Movement as part of an aid program promoted by Caritas which aims to give support to the local community. 25 young organisers are expected to arrive from around Italy.
Continually live the true life
A few months ago in the Holy Land, the Focolare community and the international music groups, Gen Rosso and Gen Verde, collaborated in a training programme for young people. The objective of the programme was to prepare young people to be promoters of reconciliation and dialogue.
Over a million young people from 146 countries around the world: a pilgrimage full of joy, accompanied by music, with moments of silence and listening, nourished by faith, open to hope, calling for peace.
In April 1984, the Jubilee of the Youth was celebrated, a few days before the conclusion of the extraordinary Jubilee of the Redemption. There were 300 thousand young people present. Chiara Lubich, foundress of the Focolare Movement, held a catechesis on joy for the young people gathered in the Basilica of Saint John Lateran on the 12th of April. Here is an excerpt of her talk.
