Last 24 April, Tommaso Sorgi “passed away peacefully after a long life wholly dedicated to the Church, in the Work of Mary and for the good of humanity.” This was the communication diffused by the Focolare Movement on the death of the most elected politician of the Italian Parliament, and among the first married focolarini who worked closely with Chiara Lubich. For many years Sorgi was the initiator and director of the Igino Giordani Centre. Yesterday, 26 April, his funeral was held in Teramo, the city of his birth. His profile will be published shortly.

Living the Gospel: “Arise and do not be afraid” (Mt 17: 7)

An invitation that echoes the Resurrection and opens the way to a new life based not on our own strength, but on the grace of God who conquers every fear. Even in difficulties and crises, the love of Christ is present and, if lived in communion with others, is capable of giving even greater courage and hope to begin again.
