Prayers for Pope Francis

Feb 24, 2025

The Focolare Movement draws together to pray for the health of the Holy Father

The President of the Focolare Movement, Margaret Karram, sent a message to Pope Francis assuring him of her affectionate closeness and fervent prayer.

She wrote, “May Mary envelop you with her maternal love and all the tenderness that you have always recommended that we should have for the good of every person next to us and every nation.”

She added, “I send you the embrace of everyone in the worldwide Focolare Movement who is praying and constantly offering up everything for you. We are infinitely grateful for your life completely given to God and given for the good of humanity.”

On 20 June 2026, we mark the first anniversary of the passing of Maria Voce (Emmaus), the first President of the Focolare Movement (2008–2021) after Chiara Lubich. As we remember her, we asked ourselves: how did Emmaus live out unity in everyday life? The focolarine who lived with her during her final years recount a number of small episodes—little “acts of love” if you will —that reveal how mutual love, lived faithfully in every circumstance, lays the foundations for receiving unity as a gift from God.
