Great Britain: launch of new Focolare website

Aug 1, 2013

The Mariapolis in Wales has been chosen as the launchpad for the new official website for Great Britain.

This year the Mariapolis for Great Britain will be held in the beautiful setting of Cefn Lea in mid Wales during the period 29th July -2nd August. What is a Mariapolis? It is an event organized by the Focolare Movement and is characteristic of its spirit: it is a gathering of people of all ages and backgrounds, spending a few days together putting into practice the universal values of the Christian Gospel. The main guideline for these gatherings, which take place in many countries throughout the world, is the ‘Golden Rule’, which invites us to do to others what we would like to be done to us. It is an opportunity to experience what happens in day-to-day life when we have listening, gift of self and sharing as the basis for our relationships. During the Mariapolis in Wales, the new official website for Great Britain will be launched. Visit the new site at: www.focolare.org/gb

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.
