\"\"<\/strong><\/a> One year has gone by since her beatification<\/strong>, attended by more than twenty-thousand young people who travelled to Rome for the occasion, and viewed by many more youths around the world via internet. . The powerful testimony of Chiara Luce Badano, the Gen from Genoa, Italy, who the Church declared blessed, seems to have made holiness fashionable again. Her \u201cnineteen years full of life and love and faith,\u201d (Pope Benedict XVI), awakens in youth and adults alike the desire to spend their lives for something great. They discover that holiness can be lived in daily life. Chiara Luce has shown us that we can also love always and unconditionally.\u201d This was said by a Brazilian youth during one of the many evening presentations of the \u201cLife Love Light\u201d Musical which are spreading around the world: from Italy to Spain \u2013 during the WYD \u2013 and in other European countries; from the Middle East to Asia; reaching the Americas, Australia and many African countries. Her parents, Maria Teresa and Ruggero Badano have received numerous invitations to share their story. Everyone feels a living relationship with Chiara Luce Badano who is still alive. But, as one youth explains very well: \u201cChiara Luce has taught me something very powerful: I can\u2019t become a saint on my own, we need to become saints together.\u201d And Chiara Lubich, foundress of the Focolare spoke the following words when she presented the young blessed: \u201cThe final goal of the Focolare Movement is to cooperate with the Church in realizing the testament of Jesus, \u2018that all be one.\u2019 While she was still a small child, Chiara Luce already discovered that sufferings are like precious pearls that can be gathered throughout each day. Therefore, she lived her life with Jesus and with Him she transformed her passion into a wedding song. Yes, Chiara Luce is a fulfilled Gen, a modern living testimony of our Ideal which came to maturity in her when she was 18 years old.\u201d Her story is being spared using every means: over 30,000 copies of the book \u201cIo ho tutto\u201d and over 15,000 copies of \u201cDai tetti in gi\u00f9\u201d already translated in several languages. Then there are thousands of DVD and musical CD\u2019s about her life and beatification. But it is mostly the internet that shows how many people know here, or discover her in unimaginable ways and want to live like her. Her Facebook page has numerous fans who share, post comments, photos. The \u201cLife Love Light\u201d website has become a reference point for many people to share their personal discovery of the reason for Chiara Luce\u2019s life and the happiness that she expressed with her dying words: \u201cMamma, goodbye. Be glad, because I\u2019m happy.\u201d Direct Link to Chiara Luce profile on Youtube: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/ChannelChiaraLuce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
