Brotherhood
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.
Christians protagonists of dialogue
29th June is the feast of Saints Peter and Paul and is a significant day in the ecumenical sphere. On this date we publish some interviews with Christians from various Churches
This curse of war
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.
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
