The Cry of Jesus Crucified and Forsaken in the History and Life of the Focolare Movement
Chiara Lubich
This book, published during the centenary year of the birth of Chiara Lubich, may be considered a treatise on the spirituality of unity as lived out in the Focolare Movement.

And the task of the Church is to be, within humanity, a catalyst for unity.
