Focolare Movement

New website for Alberto Michelotti and Carlo Grisolia

Apr 27, 2012

The new site on Alberto and Carlo can be found online: you can see their life, their writings, and a documentary on these youths who have left an everlasting trail.

Alberto and Carlo are two young people from Genoa whose cause for beatification was started in 2008. The case is original because they are protagonists together. Their friendship and the friendship they showed to others is one of the salient points of their life: it is precisely in this human sentiment, lived in a Christian way, that the Church has seen an element of sanctity, mostly in their wish to help each other in bringing to all the evangelical ideal of a united world, of universal brotherhood. On the new site, that is dedicated to them, one can view and download for free, the documentary, in Italian “Together we can”, directed by Mario Ponta: A group of youths today, following in the footsteps and ways of Alberto and Carlo, and meeting the friends of that time, discover the authenticity of their experience, and that it can be lived also today. A version of the documentary with subtitles in various languages is being prepared. The Alberto Michelotti and Carlo Grisolia committee invite all to visit the site and leave their impressions: www.albertocarlo.it

Living the Gospel: “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening” (Lk 24:29)

How can we recognize the presence of Jesus when faced with darkness, injustices and inequalities? When hardship and suffering seem to obscure all hope? The road to Emmaus becomes a symbol of each person’s journey of faith, of our deep desire to rediscover Christ in everyday choices; an encounter that leads to joy and shared testimony. It is the moving invitation that we can all extend to him so that, once he is found, he remains with us and among us.
