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)

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.
