[:it]“Pensavo di trovare l’inferno e ho trovato un pezzo di umanità”

Jun 8, 2000

Un giornalista italiano, allo scoppio della guerra in Serbia, si chiede come mostrare ai telespettatori come si vive una guerra sapendo che sotto le bombe ci sono i familiari e gli amici. Propone quindi al suo TG di mandare in onda, con la traduzione italiana, i servizi sulla guerra realizzati dal TG serbo. L’idea si realizza. Il cammino continua poi con l’invio del giornalsita in Kosovo per un reportage in Albania e in Macedonia, dove con stupore scopre un pezzo di umanità che, pur soffrendo, sa ancora amare.

A precious legacy: Chiara Lubich’s ‘Paradise ’49’

The first presentation of Chiara Lubich’s book ‘Paradise ’49’ took place on the 22nd of May 2026 in the Paul VI Hall at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome. The book is a collection of writings in which the Foundress of the Focolare Movement bears witness to and shares her mystical experience from the years 1949 to 1951.

Chiara Lubich: “Do you know where we are?”

It is the 16th of July 1949. Chiara Lubich is in Tonadico, in the Dolomite Mountains in northern Italy, for a period of rest together with some of her first companions. They are joined there by the Honourable Igino Giordani, whom Chiara called Foco. On that day, Chiara and Foco sealed a Pact of unity, a prelude to the spiritual and mystical experience that Chiara would live between 1949 and 1951. This period is known as “Paradise ’49”, the writings from which have recently been published in a book (for now in Italian). In the introduction to the book, the theologian Piero Coda offers some insights “For a theological reading” of the text. Here is an extract, relating specifically to the Pact of the 16th of July, together with a short video of Chiara Lubich from 20 December 1999, in which she shares this experience of light with the Gen, the young people of the Focolare Movement.
