It is a detailed document that is useful for everyone to live and walk together towards unity and fraternity becoming a reality.<\/span><\/em>  <span lang=\"EN-US\">For the first time ever, the Focolare Movement is publishing a Mission Report and has decided to do so in the light of this period of crisis and uncertainty that bears the aftermath of the pandemic and the open wounds of the many conflicts around the world. But it is precisely when the greatest and most common problems appear that a feeling of true fraternity and solidarity seems to emerge between people.<\/span>  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TAPA.png\" \/>  <span lang=\"EN-US\">Therefore, rather than being a simple report, this Mission Report aims to give the reader an explanatory narrative of the actions and interventions of the Focolare Movement, highlighting what unites and what still needs to be improved. The Mission Report places particular emphasis on the key element that is evident from the name itself: communion.<\/span>  <span lang=\"EN-US\">The lifestyle proposed by the Movement, in fact, is based on the choice of putting love into practice which is rooted in the Gospel. A love that &#8211; as the founder of the Focolare Movement Chiara Lubich (1920-2008) said \u2013 means loving everyone, being the first to love, &#8220;getting into the skin of the other&#8221;, in such a way that this love extends until it becomes reciprocal, until it reached the point of becoming communion.<\/span>  <span lang=\"EN-US\">In this perspective, the document aims to highlight the effects of communion itself, of what one has and is, in a voluntary and free sharing. At the same time it seeks to make of itself an instrument that opens up dialogue and communion, as President Margaret Karram said in her introductory speech:<\/span>  <span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cIt is with these sentiments that I wish to offer it to you all so that it too can become an instrument of dialogue, to build bridges and spread a culture and the practice of fraternity. It is so close to my heart that we may learn to live this communion, this exchange better and better, in a relationship of reciprocity that makes us sisters and brothers and promotes an authentic family where diversity enriches us and binds us in a harmonious unity\u201d.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Stefania Tanesini<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <span lang=\"EN-US\">To read the Mission Report of Communion\u00a0in action <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MdF-Bilancio-di-Comunione-2021-web-EN-B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a><\/span>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Focolare Movement has published a Balance Sheet of Communion for the period 2020-2021, an information tool to communicate the main actions and interventions of this reality around the world.
