The Gen Saver!

Jul 22, 2012

Here is a children’s game for the summer of 2012. To “be saved” you need to give, then the lifesaver will work.

How the game is played

Throw a pebble on the page:

  • if it touches a lifesaver you earn the number of points shown above the life vest, following the directions written inside the buoy
  • if it touches the large colourful fish 100 points are given to the player with the least number of points
  • the player whose pebble lands closest to the lighthouse earns 1000 points

Every time we give, we will find happiness again, it will be like having a lifesaver that makes us float with joy!

The first presentation of Chiara Lubich’s book ‘Paradise ’49’ took place on the 22nd of May 2026 in the Paul VI Hall at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome. The book is a collection of writings in which the Foundress of the Focolare Movement bears witness to and shares her mystical experience from the years 1949 to 1951.

Chiara Lubich: “Do you know where we are?”

It is the 16th of July 1949. Chiara Lubich is in Tonadico, in the Dolomite Mountains in northern Italy, for a period of rest together with some of her first companions. They are joined there by the Honourable Igino Giordani, whom Chiara called Foco. On that day, Chiara and Foco sealed a Pact of unity, a prelude to the spiritual and mystical experience that Chiara would live between 1949 and 1951. This period is known as “Paradise ’49”, the writings from which have recently been published in a book (for now in Italian). In the introduction to the book, the theologian Piero Coda offers some insights “For a theological reading” of the text. Here is an extract, relating specifically to the Pact of the 16th of July, together with a short video of Chiara Lubich from 20 December 1999, in which she shares this experience of light with the Gen, the young people of the Focolare Movement.
