This is the final spiritual reflection, prepared for the Movement by Chiara from her hospital bed at the Gemelli hospital  shortly before she “departed”, and released recently: “I would like this time to underline the value of relationships, relationships among us. At the beginning in Trento, our relationship with God and with our brothers was changed by Living the Word. In this way what we called a “Christian community” came to life. Let us not forget these beginnings. Let us build our Opera (Movement) on this foundation.” Here is part of the first commentary on the Word of Life, still very relevant, from over 50 years ago. We can take it as a commentary on the reflection above, to explore it more deeply and translate it into life. “The words of the Gospel may seem simple, But what a change they require! How far they are from our usual way of thinking and acting! Take courage! Let’s try. A day spent like this is worth a whole life. In the evening we will not recognise each other. A joy never experienced before will invade us. A strength will come to us. God will be with us, because he is with those who love. One after another, the days will be full. We will slow down at times, be tempted to discouragement, to stop. And we will want to return to our old life… But no! Take courage! God gives us the grace. Let’s always start again Persevering, we will see the world around us gradually change. We will see that the Gospel makes life more fascinating, brings light to the world, gives flavour to our existence, and contains the principle for solving every problem. And we will have no peace, until we have shared our extraordinary experience with others: to friends who understand us, to our relatives, to whoever we feel inspired to give it. Hope will be born again.”
