Short Reflections on Loving the People Around Us

Writings by Chiara Lubich

The wisdom of this collection is remarkable. It is mystical and practical at the same time. Lubich says, “We can’t go to God alone, but we must go to him with our brothers and sisters, since he is the Father of us all.” The neighbor is a necessity if we are to have mutual love, the profound love that is receptive to the grace of unity. The book sends you forth with a heart eager to love as Jesus loved.

The seal of unity

During his recent audience with all the participants of the General Assembly of the Focolare Movement, Pope Leo XIV commented: “Unity is a seed – simple yet powerful – which attracts thousands of men and women, inspires vocations, and generates a zeal for evangelisation, as well as social, cultural, artistic and economic works, and is a leaven for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue.” Here are some words from Chiara Lubich, spoken on the 9th of November 1989 during a “Link-up”, which present unity to us as the rock upon which our lives are built.

Co-citizens of Loppiano: Together to Build the Future

The “Co-citizens of Loppiano” is an association born from those who spent a significant period of their lives in Loppiano (Incisa Val d ‘Arno, Italy), the Little Town of the Focolare Movement. Its mission is to support Loppiano, cooperating with its Governance, so that it can continue to be a point of hope, a place of witness and a centre of universal fraternity, just as Chiara Lubich envisioned it.
