“I wish that we could all have Easter eyes
Capable of looking
into death, until we see life
into the hurts, until we see forgiveness,
into separation, until we see unity,
into the wounds, until we see glory,
into the human person, until we see God,
into God, until we see the human person,
into Myself until I see You.
And in addition to this, to see the power of Easter!”
(Easter 1993)

On the occasion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, this is an experience that speaks of the joy of living love and unity in diversity. It is a journey of listening and welcome, helping us to recognize one another as brothers and sisters.
In his Letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul wrote, “One body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.” (Eph. 4:4) A true admonition that makes the key to being concrete witnesses of Christ’s love explicit: unity lived together.
The President of the Focolare Movement sends a message for the 70th anniversary of the Città Nuova magazine, “a voice that over the years has attracted, inspired and transformed the lives of thousands of people”.
