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)

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.
