Palmira Frizzera, one of Chiara Lubich’s first companions, left this earth today, January 5, 2022. Thank you Palmira. Today, 5 January 2022, Palmira Frizzera, one of Chiara Lubich’s first companions, left us for heaven. She was born in Terlago, Trent on 9 April 1927 and first met Chiara Lubich in 1945 in Piazza Cappuccini, Trent in the house that became the first focolare. She was impressed by the ideal of “universal fraternity” and decided to follow her. In 1947 she went to live in the first focolare in Trent where she stayed for several years before moving to Sicily, then Turin and, eventually, Rome. She lived in the little town of Montet, Broye, Switzerland for over forty years and was responsible for Focolare Movement in the area and for the formation of the focolarini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca2OayGb0Q8&list=PLKhiBjTNojHoPfT9syIwfyLI4sPeqBV0P&index=3

What is the point of war?

At this time when the world is torn apart by brutal conflicts, we share an excerpt from the famous book written by Igino Giordani in 1953 and republished in 2003: The uselessness of war. “If you want peace, prepare peace”: the political teaching that Giordani offers us in this volume can be summarized in this aphorism. Peace is the result of a plan: a plan of fraternity between peoples, of solidarity with the weakest, of mutual respect. Thus a more just world is built, this is how war is set aside as a barbaric practice belonging to the dark phase of the history of mankind.
