While people are agonizing over the need to find solutions to the critical issues of our time, they will only find them in Jesus, and not only in Jesus living in the depths of each individual heart, but in Jesus reigning among people.

New City is an expression of the Focolare Movement, which takes as its inspiration Jesus’ prayer to the Father ‘May they all be one’ (Jn 17: 21).

Chiara Lubich sees the Church as a living reality, an event of communion, and she gives a stimulating answer to the question, ‘What is the Church?’ She responds that it is not a ‘what’ but a ‘who’ because the Church is Jesus in the midst of his people. And the task of the Church is to be, within humanity, a catalyst for unity.

This book is written, first and foremost, to fill a gap. Among the numerous publications of Chiara Lubich, there is not one volume specifically dedicated to the Holy Spirit, despite his significant presence throughout Chiara’s life and that of the Focolare Movement.
