Focolare Movement

Going to God Together

Sep 16, 2013

Reflections Along the Way. Author: Brendan Leahy

These ‘simple’ reflections mirror discoveries that Bishop Brendan Leahy feels he needs to constantly re-discover in order to be most effective in building up the presence of Jesus among “two or more” who are going to God together. He offers reflections on a variety of spiritual themes personal to his journey as a Christian and bishop. His reflections are poetic, solidly grounded in the spiritual tradition of the Church and clearly “audible” to the heart of every person seeking to find God in the midst of their hectic everyday life. I highly recommend this book for daily meditation and spiritual reading. Brendan Leahy is Bishop of Limerick, Ireland. Formerly professor of Systematic Theology at the Pontifical University of St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, he is a von Balthasar scholar and an ecumenist and has authored articles and books, including His Mass and Ours: Meditations on Living Eucharistically.

With Pope Leo for Dialogue and Peace

“I am not a politician; I speak of the Gospel (…) and to the leaders of the world I say: no more wars.” Pope Leo XIV began his journey to Africa with these words, answering journalists aboard the plane en route to his first stop, Algeria. It is a tireless and courageous commitment to peace, one that the Focolare Movement wholeheartedly supports. Peace and interreligious dialogue were recurring themes in many of the testimonies presented to the Pope, including that of the Focolare community.
