Put God at the centre of life and be assured that you will not waver. We can experience a deep sense of consolation by living what is expressed in the words of this psalm – a sense of feeing guided in our actions and knowing, deep in our hearts, that only He makes all things good. Seeds of Peace In our apartment block there was a growing attitude of discontent relating to the administration, repairs and noise. One day I was reflecting on the words of a priest: he had said that peace begins within us, in our conscience where we find the seed of truth that is God. This is a seed that germinates and grows when charity is put into practice in everyday life. I talked about the situation with my family and we came up with the idea of making some small improvements in the building every day, without telling other people what we were doing. For example, we decided to remove the dead leaves from the plants at the entrance and water them and we cleaned the glass and frames of the paintings in the foyer, which had perhaps never been dusted since they had been hung on the wall. Of course, these were the tasks that the people paid for cleaning should have carried out but at the following tenants’ meeting, the administrator pointed out that for a while, everyone had begun to feel that the environment was more welcoming and people began to share ideas about painting the staircase. When I reported this to the children, they were enthusiastic. A contribution to improving the world can start in even in one’s own apartment building. (C. – Croatia) The “bundle” to share From the very beginning of our marriage, we shared everything with one another. One day, my wife and I sat around a small table, trying to set up the family economy. Beyond the figures in themselves, the income and expenditure marked a growth in the quality of the relationship between us. We also involved our children. From then on, it became normal for a little used a pair of shoes, for example, to be seen as useful to someone else or for our indispensable outgoings to include a sum of money for a neighbour in need. A further step was the so-called ‘bundle’ to share with others: the focus of this was to give away what was not really needed. Only later did we realise the importance of what we had done. We felt that we had begun to relate to people who could need anything. Even a pencil, a book or a blanket became a sign of caring for others. This attitude renewed our lives. (L.R. – Holland) Trust I had lost my job, but I was confident that God’s Providence would help me find another one: had I not experienced many times that my efforts to put Gospel love into practice would be answered by “give and it will be given to you” (Lk 6:38) ? That very day, in the parish, I had to meet with a group of people and recount my experience as a Christian. At the end, I also mentioned that I was looking for a job. A girl who was present at that meeting told me that they were looking for an employee in her father’s company. That is how, by trusting, I found work. (F.I. – Italy)

On Sunday, 19th June, 2022, the new website of the Igino Giordani Centre will go online. The site is dedicated to this writer and politician, co-founder of the Focolare. Alberto Lo Presti told us that it is a completely revamped space, where you can meet “Foco” and get to the heart of his life. “Once someone said that if, by chance, all the Gospels disappeared from the earth, Christians should be such that, just by looking at their lives, the Gospel could be rewritten. Igino Giordani was that kind of Christian.” The words of Chiara Lubich, in describing the extraordinary figure of Igino Giordani (to whom she gave the name of Foco), allow us to grasp the beauty that lies behind the adventure of one who is considered a co-founder of the Focolare Movement. Hero of the last century, engaged on various fronts, from political, to social, to cultural, Giordani is still relevant today. The Igino Giordani Centre, founded by Chiara Lubich, will launch its new website on 19th June 2022 to showcase and protect his legacy. Alberto Lo Presti, at the helm of the Centre, told us about it. Prof. Lo Presti, where did the idea of creating a new site dedicated to Igino Giordani come from and what is new about it? We live in a challenging era from many points of view: peace and war, justice and inequalities, migration and welcome, work and unemployment… and since Igino Giordani has dealt with these issues with wisdom and inspiration, there are many people searching through his speeches, writings and testimonies, to find a light that might guide them in their current choices. This is why we decided to improve the website, completely renewing it, adapting it with the latest graphics and functionality. In this way we will give access, to those who are interested, to the main sources that illustrate his thought and life. How can the person of Foco make his way into the present day and be an inspiration also for the new generations? At the venerable age of 70+, Igino Giordani was considered a “myth” by many young people and teenagers who frequented the gardens of the International Centre of the Focolare Movement in Rocca di Papa (Italy), and came across him, sitting on a bench. They loved to spend time with him, to talk about serious matters or simply to share what they were living. Today, young people still need myths and heroes and often look for them in the most unlikely places (sports, cinema, video games, social media, influencers). To get to know Igino today, means getting to know the story of a real hero, who really had to go to war, who really chose peace, who really challenged the people in power to remain consistent with their ideals. Usually it is thought that youth is the time of ideals, which then with adulthood, are destined to collapse. Igino remained young to the last because, as he loved to say, “You never get old in the spirit”. Exploring his experience means listening to his teaching: living for the ideal of unity was the most exciting thing that happened to him. And alongside the improved functionality of the site and its new graphic layout, there is also a new Instagram page, already online, the first official channel entirely dedicated to Igino Giordani (Igino_giordani_official), to facilitate access to him, a citizen of the world and a real influencer of our time.

It’s not something you can learn from books – the art of supporting each other. But helping someone with their studies and devoting time to them can be the right opportunity to discover wonders and reap unexpected rewards, even in a place like prison. That’s what happened to Marta Veracini, giving her a new look on life. Laughing out loud while a voice in the distance whispers not to disturb; exchanging ideas and opinions, attempting to concentrate and stay in the books. This scene repeats daily in study halls of universities, between coffee breaks and on the way to a new class. All this and much more happens to Marta Veracini, a young woman from Tuscany, Italy, every time she hears the armoured doors close behind her at Dogaia, the prison in Prato (near Florence). A law graduate with a master’s degree in criminology, Marta joined the University of Florence’s organised civil service project in 2019. In it volunteers assist inmates preparing for university exams. Since then, even after the year ended, she continued her service – there in a place that anyone would have a hard time calling ‘beautiful’. Yet in surprising and unexpected ways, it has become a space dedicated to care and mutual trust, a place where relationships are a ‘welcoming home’, and where everyone, inmate or not, can finally be themselves. ‘I am always asked how it feels to bring comfort and help in a place like prison,’ says Marta. ‘The truth is that no one really understands how much you can receive, even in that context. ‘Volunteering in prison changed my life. It allowed me to break down the barriers of my shyness, my insecurities and allows me today to show off a smile that I used to hide. It is I who have to thank the people I have met for all they have done for me and continue to do. ‘I am truly free with them.’ It is a real achievement. There are so many cells that can imprison us, in fact, that can hold back our dreams, our thoughts, our hopes. Marta’s experience, together with those of the inmates she has had the good fortune to meet and help with their studies over the years, are an example of how together it is still possible to take flight, to feel that you are worth something and – why not – think about the future. ‘The university path is definitely tiring for everyone,’ Marta says, ‘but they work so hard, and it is good to see their grit and joy in passing an exam. These are great little milestones, where they face tough subjects. ‘Many, for example, are studying law, and some have already graduated. There are young people as well as adults from various regions of Italy, or foreigners. It is good to see how they set no limits, spur each other on and become examples for each other. ‘For those with long sentences, it means investing strength and time to achieve something that makes them proud, and makes their families outside proud. Those who are released have the opportunity to use what they have studied to be able to start over.’ Hers is a look of hope that embraces and allows itself to be embraced. The stories of daily life within the walls of Dogaia, captured in the book Marta wrote during the pandemic, My guardian angel has a life sentence, are a small drop in a great sea of indifference that divides the inside from the outside. Yet they are a testimony to how it is possible to break down barriers by generating beauty and putting unconditional love for one’s neighbour at the centre. ‘I have never wanted to know why each of them is in prison,’ Marta continues, ‘but one thing is certain: I have never looked at them as “monsters” – just people who, although with mistakes behind them, have the same needs, feelings and hope as others do to relate and share. ‘They are people who have dignity like everyone else, and thanks to them, I also found mine. In short, true friends.’

The Fifth Halki Summit, was held in Istanbul, Turkiye. Four days of talks and discussion on care for the environment for the future of the planet. At the end of the fifth Halki Summit, entitled “Sustaining the Future of the Planet Together,” we said our goodbyes in an atmosphere of warmth and friendship. The international, interdisciplinary meeting was organized jointly by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (Istanbul) and the Sophia University Institute, Loppiano (Italy). It was inspired by the prophetic teaching of Patriarch Bartholomew and Pope Francis and all agreed that it was an event of the Holy Spirit. Not by chance, the Summit was held in the week between the two dates of Pentecost in our respective Churches. The sincere communication and mutual attentiveness, as well as the open exchange of ecclesial approaches and reflections, led us to discover that we are at a decisive turning point for the future of the human family, in which each person has a responsible part to play. The challenge or opportunity to which we are called is that of developing a shared ecological ethos. As artisans of peace and fraternity, we wish to implement good practices in every sphere, whether educational or pastoral, social, economic or political. We committed ourselves to work on interdisciplinary pathways for the formation of new paradigms that can interpret and transform reality and overcome the culture of waste. It became clear that effective action can only be achieved through non-elitist education, in which the Churches are actively engaged. At the end, all participants wished to make an appeal “to the Churches and those who care about our common home”. We hope not to leave this event behind us as a beautiful memory, but instead, starting from our own conversion, nourished by evangelical wisdom, to work together for real change in the capacity to care. “Ecological culture”, Pope Francis reminds us, “Cannot be reduced to a series of urgent and partial responses to the immediate problems of pollution, environmental decay and the depletion of natural resources. There needs to be a distinctive way of looking at things, a way of thinking, policies, an educational programme, a lifestyle and a spirituality which together generate resistance to the assault of the technocratic paradigm. Otherwise, even the best ecological initiatives can find themselves caught up in the same globalized logic. To seek only a technical remedy to each environmental problem which comes up is to separate what is in reality interconnected and to mask the true and deepest problems of the global system” (Laudato Si’, no. 111).

The Word of Life of June 2022, “You are my Lord, I have no good apart from you ” proposes that we recognise Jesus in all circumstances of life, especially in the most difficult moments of physical or spiritual pain. Through his abandonment, Jesus himself became our access to the Father. His part is now done. It’s up to us to take advantage of this great grace. Each one of us has to do our own small part, which requires that we approach the gate and pass through it. How? When we suffer because of a sudden disappointment, or are distressed by an unexpected misfortune or an absurd illness, we should recall that Jesus took on himself the pain of all these various trials, and a myriad of others, too. Yes, Jesus forsaken is present in everything that causes us to suffer. Every pain we experience bears his name. So let’s try to recognize Jesus forsaken in all the distressful and difficult situations of life, in all our dark times, in our personal tragedies and those of others, in the suffering of humanity that surrounds us. All these are him because he made them his own. All we have to do is to tell him, with faith, “You, Lord, are my only good.”[1] It would be enough to do something practical to lessen “his” suffering in the poor and in those who are distressed, for us to go through the gate and find beyond it a joy never experienced before, a new fullness of life.

The 5th Halki Summit jointly organized by the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Sophia University Institute began on 8th June, 2022, in Turkey. We had a dream… 
Yes, it was January 2019 and a delegation from the Sophia University Institute (IUS) visited the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in the Phanar, the historic Greek quarter of present-day Istanbul (Turkey). We were also welcomed very warmly by Metropolitan Elpidophoros of Bursa, then Abbot of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity on the island of Halki and Professor of the Theological School of the University of Thessaloniki (he became Archbishop of America the following May). We experienced a deep communion with him which gave rise to the desire to organize together a Summer School in Halki with Catholic and Orthodox students and teachers, on the theme of ecology, so dear to both the sister Churches of Rome and Constantinople. The pandemic delayed it but today that dream has come true. 
It is 6.30 pm on Wednesday, 8th June, 2022 and we are once again in the “queen of cities”, as the beautiful city of Constantinople was called, with good reason. Patriarch Bartholomew gave a passionate and informative greeting to participants, students and teachers from all continents and with very varied interdisciplinary and ecumenical experiences. The audience included Msgr. Marek Solczynski, the new Apostolic Nuncio to Turkey, Msgr. Vincenzo Zani, Secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education, Archbishop Elpidophoros and Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare Movement and Vice-Chancellor of the IUS. “Everything is in a relationship of love” said Margaret Karram, recalling the destiny of unity embedded in the universe, that today more than ever, man and woman are called to promote with bold, prophetic action and thought. The title of the fifth Halki Summit organized jointly by the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the IUS, which began on Wednesday, 8th June, is a clear indication of this: “Sustaining the future of the planet together”. It is no coincidence that Patriarch Bartholomew emphasized two words from this title: “future” and “together”. The first refers to the strong intergenerational bond inherent in respect for the environment in which we live; the second to the mandatory interdisciplinary approach to be taken in the face of the vastness and complexity of ecological problems. He said, “It becomes evident that only a cooperative and collective response by religious leaders, scientists, political authorities, educational institutions and financial organizations will be able to effectively address these imperative issues of our time”. 
At the end of his speech, he referred to two concepts very dear to Orthodox theology and spirituality: “Eucharist” (in the sense of “thanksgiving” for the gift of creation) and “asceticism” (understood as “self-control” of consumerist passions). However, the Patriarch invited us to consider these concepts not simply in a liturgical or monastic sense, but as different ways of speaking about communion. “And this is where the vision of our brother Pope Francis,” he admitted with emotion, “coincides with the vision of the world that we have proposed and promulgated for over thirty years. We are both convinced that what we do to our world, ‘we do to the least of our brothers and sisters’ (Mt.25:40), just as what we do to others we do to God himself (cf. Mt.25:45). It is no coincidence that immediately after publishing the encyclical on the environment Laudato Sì, the next encyclical of Pope Francis was Fratelli Tutti”. There are many joint statements by the Pope and the Patriarch, together with the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the urgency of environmental sustainability, on social impact and on the importance of global cooperation. This is also what Pope Francis writes in Laudato Sì: “When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities … it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself, everything is connected. (no. 117) The Patriarch clarifies the same concept, putting it in context: “Connections between us and the entire creation of God, between our faith and our action, between our theology and our spirituality, between what we say and what we do; between science and religion, between our convictions and every discipline; between our sacramental communion and our social conscience; between our generation and future generations, between our two churches, but also with other churches and other communities of faith”. Yes, everything is connected by a bond that only mutual love between people can make visible to every man and woman on this wonderful planet earth.

Call for projects with an ecological impact addressed to the local communities of the Focolare Movement. Rules and conditions for participation. Proposals will be accepted until 30 June 2022. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hflKLGLCPE0 What is the project The “Seed Funding Program” aims to sustain and encourage significant and promising initiatives in different parts of the world towards the creation of local/national ecological plans for people and planet within the Focolare communities. The main goal is to build local ecological plans within the Focolare communities to journey together towards an integral ecology. Our inspiration The world faces a complex social and environmental crisis. The Encyclical Laudato Si’ from Pope Francis explains how the cry of the poor is completely interconnected with the cry of the planet. We cannot consider our relationship with nature as separate from fraternity, justice and faithfulness to others. Chiara Lubich, the founder of the Focolare Movement, argued that it is by starting with small local problems that a moral conscience is formed that is capable of addressing problems on a global scale. In fact, Chiara continued: what is missing is not technical and economic resources but an extra soul, which means new love for mankind, to make us all feel responsible towards everyone. Participate! The SFP is looking for youth-led and intergenerational initiatives (ongoing or future initiatives) that aim at a change in our personal and communitarian lifestyle, envisioning a sustainable relationship between nature and human beings, and working within a local context. 10 projects will be selected and will be funded with up to 1000 euros. An international and interdisciplinary jury will select the projects according to the following criteria:
- The project should be oriented towards integral ecology (in favor of people and planet);
- The project should involve intergenerational efforts with young people playing a significant role in the leadership and implementation of each project;
- The project must involve the local community (possibly at a national level); and
- The project should show how spiritual values motivate ecological action (possibly with an ecumenical and interreligious dimension).
Submit your ecoplan and be part of this path together! https://www.new-humanity.org/fr/project/seed-funding-program/ In order to participate in this call, you may need to fill out some crucial information. Do not miss the framework and the call for projects survey.
The deadline to complete your application is June 30th, 2022. You will hear whether your project was successful to receive seed-funding by July 15th, 2022. Once successful for funding, you would commit to taking first steps within your project between July and September 2022 and we would love to see your first report by the end of October 2022.

While much of the population of Latin America adheres to the Catholic Church, for many years there has been a growing sense of awareness among different churches. Often by working together on social issues, Christians from different traditions are able to experience real unity. Of particular importance is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which in the southern hemisphere is celebrated between Ascension and Pentecost. More and more it’s the youth who are taking the lead to get things done. 
Young people have always been attracted by the unknown, by what is different from themselves, by all that something new can bring, even in the realm of religion. So youth are always more open to those from another church to their own. This is precisely the experience of Ikuméni, a workshop for young Latin American Christians belonging to different churches and Christian traditions. “From the first day, I realised it was going to be challenging for everyone present, starting with me because the people I meet on a daily basis are nearly all Catholics like myself. In this course, everything was new and every participant came from a different church”, explains Carolina Bojacá, a young Focolare member from Colombia. In this formation journey, these young Christians from different traditions become travelling companions, in what is proving to be a real innovation in the ecumenical field. Starting from their shared faith in Christ, each one is prepared to serve actively in areas like sustainable development, peace and humanitarian aid. Carolina continues, “In August 2021 I participated in the online course for young people on good practice in ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue. There was a great atmosphere among us all from the start, and we all wanted to get to know each other better and build good relationships. As we tackled each theme, we quickly realised we would not be able to make progress unless we let go of all those prejudices or preconceptions that are often nurtured within a community and which block us from opening our minds and hearts to welcome each other. It’s the only way to discover the beauty of what unites us and also the differences that make us who we are as a church or group, without them being an impediment to working together for a more fraternal world. As the months went by, we got to know each other and eventually we managed to meet face to face. It was great to feel how strong our bond had become, to be able to give each other a hug, to pray together, to dialogue and discover the diversity and richness in each one, and in myself too!” As part of the course, the young participants prepare for a program of service. As it says in “Serving a Wounded World in Interreligious Solidarity”, the 2020 joint document by the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Christians must now recognize the urgency to get involved with people of other religions in expressions of interreligious solidarity. So Carolina and her group rolled up their sleeves, as she explains. “In December, together with another youth member of the Focolare Movement who attended the same course, we thought of taking gifts to an indigenous community who had been violently displaced from their homeland to the outskirts of Bogotá. We proposed the idea to the others on the course and got a very positive response. Many contributed gifts and prayed for us, showing how even if we belong to a different church, our motivation is love inspired by Jesus, the model for all of us. At the end of the course we all gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Each of us presented the actions inspired by the program not only to our fellow Ikuméni course mates, but also to some members of other religions who were invited. They happily shared their ideas and their own practical actions. It was a special moment of openning up to interreligious dialogue”. For many it was a completely new experience, a testimony of how fraternity can be built from personal commitment and effort combined with a great desire to get to know each other and do great things all together. “So now we’ve completed the course,” said Carolina, “but it’s only the first step to respond to a personal calling. We’ll continue to strengthen our relationships, help each other in actions which open up our hearts and continue working to make a united world something real”.

In 1976, during the first Gen School, Chiara Lubich answered questions from many young Focolare members from all over the world. Referring to what she was living in those days she said the following I read … a writing of mine which you too may have read its short and says: “Jesus forsaken, embraced, held tightly to oneself, consumed in one with us, we consumed in one with Him, made suffering with Him… suffering: this is how you become God, Love.” Those words touched me in a special way because I wrote them during a time of great light, so I wrote things greater than I could actually live, or if I did live them, it was as a young person. The more I go ahead the more I discover their value and depth. … I liked it very much and the Holy Spirit made me focus on this point of not being two of us: me and Jesus forsaken, that is, me and the suffering I experience, me and the doubt I have, I discovering Him and little by little embracing Him, saying to Jesus… taking time., no, at once! Made suffering with Him suffering, wanting that alone, this is how you become God, how you become God! Love, Love. Then, … I had just received a card from Loppiano in which Father Mario Strada had sent me, besides his letter, a few photos of his new little church at Cappiano, I think, photos of some beautiful frescoes. One of them had this sentence written beneath it: “Nox mea (my night) obscurum non habet” (my night has no darkness). I was very happy about this, as though the Lord had sent it to me, because – as I said – this is what I want to live. As soon as a suffering arrives, I must embrace it so quickly, I must hold it tightly to myself, consume it in one, made suffering with Him suffering. This is how you become, not suffering, but Love, God. … I have seen, gen, that living this all day long, is like a tonic of the Ideal that you can’t imagine… unimaginable! Because you start in the morning. You might be a little tired, you didn’t sleep well perhaps. So, tiredness, amazing, “My night has no darkness”, this suffering does not exist because I love it. I get up, and I might hear about some problems at once. Someone says: “Chiara, I need to tell you something.” And I say within: fantastic, Jesus, here we are, I embrace you, hold you tightly, made suffering with you, at once… “My night has no darkness.” And this all day long. I believe that we can progress spiritually more in a week by living this one thing than in months and months living in other ways. And this applies to all suffering; you’re suffering because your feet hurt; you’re feeling the cold; someone spoke a bit unkindly; you suffer about something you have to do; you suffer and …at once… – This is the way! … so that we can always proclaim, when we go to bed at night: Jesus, my night had no darkness. Truly, you feel that you can say (now, God must confirm this), that it is no longer we who live, but it is Love that lives within; it is God who lives within

On a journey to bring solidarity to migrants fleeing their countries due to war and persecution, Gen Rosso’s music leaves a wake of sharing and fraternity. “We face so many problems, but with you, with this kind of activity, we feel driven to move forward.” These are the words of a migrant who fled Pakistan because of problems facing the country. Today he, like thousands of other migrants, is in a refugee camp in Lipa and Borići in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was able to meet Gen Rosso. From 4–8 May, the international performing arts group returned for a second time to locations on the “Balkan route,” where migrants fleeing their countries due to war or persecution travel every day. The goal of the trip was to bring solidarity and dignity to migrants, lift their hopes for a better world, strengthen their self-esteem, and breathe in the family atmosphere. It was organised with the help of Jesuit Refugee Service, which provides housing and essential aid to asylum seekers and migrants. “We had been here in October 2021,” says Michele Sole, one of the singers, “and it was a good feeling to return to familiar places. This time we went to a larger refugee camp in Lipa, where we met other refugees. The amazing thing is always to see how smiles and welcoming people without prejudice can make a difference and make their faces shine!” Welcoming gestures and small gifts during the brief moments experienced with them offered some a glimmer of joy and light. Another stop was to visit the John Paul II School in Bihać, where close to 100 children were able to participate in dance and singing workshops and attend two Gen Rosso concerts. Along with the pupils and their parents, some migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran were also able to participate in the artistic events. “It was our way of trying to include everyone and experience how important and unimaginable the gift of sharing with this piece of suffering humanity is,” adds Michele. “I don’t know what happened to me this morning,” says a Muslim woman who was present, “but I felt your music inside, and moved and lucky to be here.” “Thank you, thank you really, for the passion and hope you gave us,” says an Afghan boy. “The singing was very beautiful.” “The concert was something special,” says Bihać Institute’s headmaster, adding to the chorus of messages of joy and hope. “We sincerely hope to meet again. It was a great honour and pleasure for us to have you here in our school.”
