Holy Week 2012

Apr 5, 2012

"A constantly renewed love": Maria Voce’s Easter greetings from Guatemala.

“After the resurrection, Jesus remained another 40 days on earth with his followers. Could it be that he wanted to show his desire to remain among us, to help shoulder our responsibilities and to share in our difficulties, joys, sufferings, victories and failures…?

And if this is so, wouldn’t our constantly renewed reciprocal love, that allows him to continuously rise in us and among us, be the best way to live in a perennial Easter?

From Guatemala, where the mysteries of Holy Week are lived very intensely, may my warmest wishes reach all the friends of the Focolare Movement around the world so this may be so!”

Emmaus (Maria Voce)

During his recent audience with all the participants of the General Assembly of the Focolare Movement, Pope Leo XIV commented: “Unity is a seed – simple yet powerful – which attracts thousands of men and women, inspires vocations, and generates a zeal for evangelisation, as well as social, cultural, artistic and economic works, and is a leaven for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue.” Here are some words from Chiara Lubich, spoken on the 9th of November 1989 during a “Link-up”, which present unity to us as the rock upon which our lives are built.

The “Co-citizens of Loppiano” is an association born from those who spent a significant period of their lives in Loppiano (Incisa Val d ‘Arno, Italy), the Little Town of the Focolare Movement. Its mission is to support Loppiano, cooperating with its Governance, so that it can continue to be a point of hope, a place of witness and a centre of universal fraternity, just as Chiara Lubich envisioned it.
