Focolare Movement

With gratitude to Carlo Maria Martini

Sep 1, 2012

Ricordo del Movimento dei Focolari per la morte del cardinale Carlo Maria Martini.

The Focolare Movement also pauses and gratefully remembers Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini. We give thanks to God for having given to the Church and to the world a man who has provided such a great personal witness. We treasure his extraordinary love for the Word of God and his capacity for dialogue with the contemporary culture. These are the two pearls that we would like to see gathered by the new generations, as we begin the Genfest with 12,000 young people who have gathered from the five continents, in Budapest, Hungary.
