Focolare Movement

Happy Easter!

Apr 14, 2014

Easter wishes from the Focolare president as she and Giancarlo Faletti visit Brazil.

“Everything in Brazil tells of the resurrection – the flowers, fruits, colours and fragrances – and it is natural here to wish everyone Happy Easter!

During Holy Week, I’ll visit the National Shrine of Brazil dedicated to our Lady of Aparacida. I’ll take to Her all your sorrows, joys and desires – especially those of Her Brazilian sons and daughters who have made Her family grow throughout the world.”

In the joy of the Risen Lord,

Maria Emmaus Voce

Maria Voce is scheduled to attend 9:00 Mass (local time – UTC -3) at Aparecida Shrine on April 15, 2014. The Mass can be viewed live on Aparecida TV at: http://www.a12.com/tv-aparecida/institucional/detalhes/tv-ao-vivo

“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.

Lebanon: the Resistance of Solidarity

The war in Lebanon has caused more than a million people to be displaced, turning the emergency into a widespread and prolonged condition. The testimonies we share, speak of material losses, traumas and a hope that is steadily diminishing. However, a spontaneous network of solidarity is growing, planting ever more genuine seeds of humanity.
