Online: a new website dedicated to Chiara Luce Badano

Jun 19, 2013

Since June 13, 2013 the new website has been offering news about this new young Blessed.

Life, Love, Light, or rather, life, love, light. This trinomial that has been connected to the name of Chiara Luce Badano since the day of her beatification is still running on the Web thanks to a website officially dedicated to the young woman from Sassello (Italy) – www.chiaraluce.org. The site is being visited and appreciated by people of all ages. In recent days the site has been added to with new graphics, content and services.

Among the novelties, the long-awaited section entitled LOVE, which regards the spirituality that Chiara Luce lived, some updates about the projects that are being brought ahead by the Chiara Badano Foundation, the section on “At Sassello” regarding the Centre of Spirituality at La Maddalena, a small hamlet in Sassello, which was the birthplace of Chiara Luce. The “Publications” link provides news editorials, CDs and DVDs. The languages have also increased with the addition of Portuguese. The common denominator of the site is the desire to spread the message of this young witness of the Gospel to “make her bright light shine on the lampstand.”

Chiara Luce is also on Facebook . Her Facebook page is widely appreciated with over 54,000 contacts. But beyond the numbers, the life and depth of Chiara Luce continues to uplift and to spread: “I’m feeling a bit down,” one person writes, “and then you appear with that candid expression on your face and that genuine smile of yours, your eyes filled with love. And like magic my heart is calmed. Thanks.”

Klaus Hemmerle (1929-1994), Bishop of Aachen (Aquisgrana, Germany), was an outstanding theologian and philosopher who gave his contribution to the doctrinal understanding of the charism of unity. Through these words, he draws us into the mystery of Easter and the Resurrection of Christ, inviting us to immerse ourselves fully in this moment and see it with fresh eyes.

The Cross, a Treasure Chest of Communion

The Cross, a Treasure Chest of Communion

Jesus’ death on the cross reveals a man so deeply rooted in a relationship with the Father that he is able to trust Him completely, up to the very end. And it is for this reason that Calvary becomes the precious vessel in which all of God’s love for us is gathered. Igino Giordani’s words invite us to make room for silence and attentive listening, so that we can begin this path of contemplation, redemption, and communion with God and with one another.
