Net-One: “Dialog Tryouts”

May 27, 2010

The cultural association Net-One promotes from the 10th to the 13th of June an international meeting with the title “Dialog Tryouts”: an opportunity to rediscover and share -from the perspective of universal brotherhood- the responsibilities of being communicators

From the 10th to the 13th of June, the Mariapolis Center will host the international seminar promoted by Net-One: the “Net” of communicators, reference point for many media agents. Thanks to this net, they will share in-depth cultural and professional experiences with a single aim: putting back at the center of their work the human being. The latter, is being considered as the main mean of communication from the perspective of universal brotherhood and of a more united world. “Dialog Tryouts”, this is the title of the event. The event is considered to be more like a seminar than a common conference. The speakers and the professionals of the various fields of communication will only give hints. This will allow all those attending -coming from all over the world- to give their meaningful contribution and new importance to todays reality, through this mean. “The aim of communication is the change established by love found within communication itself” said the philosopher Guy Lafon. Net-one’s first years of life clearly show this: we must increase the value of communicating with others, we must understand who is behind the mean, we must do it in order to manage and promote an immediate good communication in an always more complex universe made of printed press, T.V., Internet and social networks. Throughout the seminar, we will try to rediscover the meaning and the extraordinary potential of being communicators by building new relationships and discussing themes regarding the medias world through plenary sessions and workshops. The speech of Maria Voce -the President of the Focolare Movement- will close the Seminar. By connecting to the website of Net-One you will find the Program of the Seminar and the Contacts and informations needed to attend.

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.
