Each month a Scripture passage is offered as a guide and inspiration for daily living. This commentary, called the Word of Life, is translated into 96 languages and dialects and reaches several million people worldwide through print, radio, television and the Internet. Ever since the Focolare’s beginnings, founder Chiara Lubich (1920–2008) wrote her commentaries each month. This one was originally published in February 1992.

Experiences of how people put the monthly sentence into practice can be found on the this website as well as on the Focolare’s International website at: www.focolare.org
