Chiara Lubich to the young people: the joy of the early Christians
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.
Paolo Rovea, a life in God
On 3rd July 2025, Paolo Rovea, an Italian doctor and married focolarino, completed his earthly life. Following his passing, many messages arrived from all over the world, coming together to form a unique and very rich mosaic, just like Paolo himself.
Living the Gospel: the courage to stop
The parable of the good Samaritan teaches us not only to draw close, touching the wounds of those around us and breaking down the walls of prejudice, but through this Word we come to understand the art of compassion and the infinite mercy with which God embraces us, cares for us and leaves us free to abandon ourselves to his love.
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
