Whilst being a chronological account, it doesn\u2019t wish to be hagiographic and wants to distinguish the founder and her work.  For the first time in a book that everyone can read, an extraordinary and yet extremely simple existence is mapped out; a life where the undisputed reference point was the Gospel. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Will of God by Chiara Lubich <\/strong>(<em>La volont\u00e0 di Dio<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Comp.\u00a0Lucia Abignente, Rome: Citt\u00e0 Nuova  A collection of thoughts, diary excerpts, letters and messages where the founder of the Focolare Movement addresses one of the fundamental themes of Christian Living. This book, containing a lot of unpublished material, is just one of Citt\u00e0 Nuova\u2019s new publications for March.  Chiara Lubich often spoke and wrote about the Will of God proposing it as a road to sainthood for everyone, as an aspect to be lived\u00a0 in every moment of our lives, but above all as a possibility to respond to God with our love. \u201cTo a God that loves us immensely, we respond by trying to love him immensely. We would have no meaning in the world if we weren\u2019t a little flame in this infinite blaze: love that responds to love\u201d,\u00a0commented\u00a0Chiara in her later years describing the experience lived with her first companions at the dawn of the movement. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I<strong>n Trent with Chiara Lubich. Places that speak<\/strong> (<em>A Trento con Chiara Lubich. Le parole dei luoghi<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Franco De Battaglia, Trent: Il Margine  A book inspired by a walk through Trent; a visit to the streets, squares, houses and churches that marked Chiara Lubich\u2019s early experiences. Eighty odd pages which, for the first time, narrate the interweaving of two stories: the history of various architectural landmarks in Trent and the life story of Chiara Lubich and her first companions.\u00a0 \u201cFrom the \u2018casetta\u2019 (or little house) that saw the birth of the first focolare in Number 2 Piazza Capuccini, to the woodland \u2018Gocciadoro\u2019 (Golden Drop); from the Androne neighbourhood where she visited the poor, to the city\u2019s cathedral; the journalist Franco de Battaglia reconstructs the map of Chiara Lubich\u2019s Trent. A unique guide for the discovery of the city\u2019s landmarks wedded with the existential itinerary of one of the most important religious leaders of the 20thcentury\u201d. From her beginnings in Trent, Chiara was an constant builder of unity among Christians and a protagonist of interreligious dialogue across all five continents. Her story and choices have now become a part of millions of people\u2019s lives.  <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the 3rd anniversary of Chiara Lubich\u2019s last goodbye here on earth, 3 new books hit the shelves: a biography, a walk through her native city of Trent and an anthology of writings on the Will of God.
