Peace, not just a dream

Mar 24, 2016

Despite being submerged in so much that is negative, Peace amongst us is the presence of the Risen Lord. Easter greetings from Maria Voce, Focolare President.

“Looking at this profoundly wounded world, unity and peace might seem just a dream.

May the power of the Risen Lord, who overcame death, every death, forever, strengthen in us the boldness to believe, hope and act so that fraternity may become the norm for shared living between different cultures and peoples.

I wish you all a Happy Easter, with the Risen Jesus in our midst!”

Maria Voce (Emmaus)

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.
