Igino Giordani, when writing his memoirs, reflected on the terrible period of the First World War, in which he himself had to enlist, saying, “I saw the absurdity, the stupidity and above all the sin of war…”, as Benedict XV called it, the ‘useless massacre’. His words challenge us to think about how history could teach us to work for peace today, by opposing the new, absurd, useless massacres of our century.
A pilgrimage in Rome during the event that will see the participation of young people from all over the world. It will follow the historical itinerary of the Seven Churches with catechesis, prayer, testimonies, spiritual insights inspired by the charism of unity, music and sharing.
When I was in secondary school in the year 1990, a group of Focolare movement from Belgium visited my school then at Onitsha South East Nigeria. It was a amazing time then with them evangelizing and yelling us about the movement and Sister Chiara’s story. I was particularly impressed and loved the songs they thought us then. There was also a Focolare song book containing songs like “First a flame”, Let us love everyone, Emmanuel, God is love, etc.
I have tried to browse the Internet to reconnect with these songs, the lyrics or even an e copy of the song book so that I can teach my children.
Pls how can you help me? I need those songs…very unique compositions… Pls help me if you can. Thanks
Please send email to info@focolare.org thanks
