20171110-02At the end of October, the Focolare Movement held a presentation day for the spirituality of unity and initiatives of the community in Greece, with testimonies of families, youths and a priest of the diocese of Athens. “The testimonials make our faith credible,” commented the Archbishop of Athens, Bishop Sebastianos Rossolatos who attended the event. “The Holy Spirit, through the centuries, has sent the charisms to renew the Church. Among these is also that of the Focolare.” An article was published in the Catholic Church’s national daily bulletin, and signed by the daily paper’s photographer, who attended a Focolare event for the first time: “It was a day for social issues concerning the future of our lives and the application of Christianity’s Golden Rule. For all, it was the start of a better lifestyle.”

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.

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.
