Chiara announced on that July 19, 1967, that \u201can explosive, apostolic and diffusive Movement\u201d for families would be born at the very heart of the Focolare.  Fifty years later it is easy to see that those words were proven to be true. Married and engaged couples and many others who have a part in the world of the family have seen their love for one another grow through their contact with the charism of unity, transforming it into a living witness of love for God and for the human family. That love has also resulted in the Movement spreading in a large part of the world\u2019s countries.  <strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-154919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Chiara_Famiglie002-Argentina-1998.jpg\" alt=\"Chiara_Famiglie002 Argentina 1998\" width=\"357\" height=\"230\" \/><\/strong>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/famiglienuove\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Families<\/a> is committed to giving an answer to the needs of today\u2019s family that is in line with \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/apost_exhortations\/documents\/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20160319_amoris-laetitia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amoris Laetitia<\/a>\u201d (\u201cThe Joy of Love\u201d).
