Walking in the will of God bears fruit in unity

Nov 15, 2015

A short writing by Chiara Lubich which dates back to the end of October 1947. She writes with a touch of poetry and emphasises that doing the will of God will lead to the unity of all humankind.

20151115-b“There is an infinite number of rays, all coming from the same sun: a single will, particular for each person. The closer the rays come to the sun, the closer they come to one another. “We too . . . the closer we come to God, by doing the will of God more and more perfectly, the closer we come to one another. “Until we are all one!” (Chiara Lubich, L’unità, Città Nuova, Roma 2015, a cura di D. Falmi e F. Gillet, p. 48-49).
