More than 1000 young people from all over the world met in Assisi (Italy). Their aim: to redesign the economy together, giving it a soul, making it more sustainable, inclusive and attentive to the least. Pope Francis met them and enthusiastically signed a ‘pact’ with them, inviting them to transform their ideals into concrete actions. Copyright 2022 © CSC Audiovisuals – All rights reserved. (2661M)

Founded in 1997, the initiative ‘They have evicted Jesus’ originates from a reflection by Chiara Lubich, foundress of the Focolare Movement, who, struck by the absence of any reference to the true meaning of Christmas, invited people to bring Jesus back to the heart of it.
A number of events marked the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of this reality of the Focolare Movement, which contributes to embodying the ideal of unity through the structures of the local Church.
With this reflection, inspired by the Gospel of Matthew, Chiara Lubich addressed the participants at the Congress of the Movement of Men Religious in 1995. It outlines the approach that draws us closer to our neighbour and closer to those in need, breaking down all distances and focusing on love.
