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

Unity: A Priority for Maria Voce (Emmaus)

On 20 June 2026, we mark the first anniversary of the passing of Maria Voce (Emmaus), the first President of the Focolare Movement (2008–2021) after Chiara Lubich. As we remember her, we asked ourselves: how did Emmaus live out unity in everyday life? The focolarine who lived with her during her final years recount a number of small episodes—little “acts of love” if you will —that reveal how mutual love, lived faithfully in every circumstance, lays the foundations for receiving unity as a gift from God.
