Focolare Movement

When the Word Becomes Life

Nov 13, 2012

By Chiara Lubich

This book offers readers a glimpse of the soul of Chiara Lubich, who gave life to a worldwide Movement of men, women, and children from all walks of life – people who have come together in living the Gospel. Chiara’s language is spiritual, at times mystical, but always practical. These short reflections lead the reader into the very heart of the Good News, to the discovery of that Light which is ever ancient, ever new – the Light and beauty that Chiara discovered shining beneath every word of the Gospel: Jesus, the Word, the Light for every person who comes into this world.

Brotherhood, being children of the same Father, can be the root of every kind of pacifism. In this excerpt from the “Catholic Revolt”, Igino Giordani wrote almost an invocation, a poetic appeal that compels us to look up and opens our eyes to who our brother is, that brother who may be labelled as an enemy, as a foreigner, as a migrant, but is always a brother. It is an appeal written back in 1925, that still touches our deepest chords and challenges us to be builders of peace.
