This morning a surprise and a lot of joy for our families at Loreto School. On the day of the Annunciation we received a special touch from Mary for her Citadel of Loppiano: the snow!
We proposed to live the quarantine of colours in time of social isolation.
We presented it today to the families to help each other to live as harmoniously and in communion as possible this unforeseen and complex moment. We are all committed to ensuring that the emotional life and communion among all, generated by GIM, will always support families in these difficult days.

The family is a sign, symbol and type of every other design of God. It reflects his own life, the very life of the Most Holy Trinity.
Experience of accompaniment in separation.
A meeting for engaged and young couples was held at Castelgandolfo from the 30th of January till the 2nd of February and the participants came from various countries, including non-European countries. Some sessions of the programme were in common, others distinct so as to go in depth to specific aspects and topics of the two different realities. In any case, the experience gave everyone a new or renewed awareness that “There is only one love” as the title of the course states and that, in this love, they can find the key to live and witness their ‘forever’.

The world is taken by fear with the burst of COVID19 globally. As a local community of the Focolare Dumaguete City, we braced ourselves for the inevitable. When the first death of a Covid19 patient was reported in our city, we were shaken. It did not take long before we were under a lock down and advised to do home quarantine.

In this period of pandemic by coronavirus from Loreto School a rainbow of hope
We have put this video on our website www.newfamilies.org and have made our own the appeal of these young people .
In the awareness that peace dies if separated from justice, we dream of a world where the Golden Rule, the heart of many civilizations and traditions, becomes the way to pursue personally and collectively. Let us embrace the goal of universal brotherhood, the key to the present and future of our peoples, the only one capable of disarming the throwaway culture and open up to better sharing of goods, interdependence, and dialogue, the main path to peace.
Three words: “sorry,” “please,” and “thank you.”
