14 March 2008 – 14 March 2012
The most varied events are being promoted by the Focolare Movement all over the world, during the month of March to commemorate the foundress, 4 years after her passing away. Cultural, ecumenical or interreligious events. In many places the impact of her charism in the field of economics will be presented, while elsewhere the theme “communication in the era of new media: the style of Chiara Lubich” will be talked about.
Everywhere, too, there will be moments of encounter and there will be many religious celebrations that will gather, in the cities as well as in the villages, the Focolare communities but not only.
“Chiara and the new generations” is the title of the event promoted by the International Center of the Focolare Movement that will welcome a crowd of all ages at the Auditorium of the Mariapolis Center of Castelgandolfo, near Rome, on Sunday the 11th of march 2012 from 16:00 to 18:00 p.m.
The program will unfold through some scenes, with excerpts of videos of talks of Chiara Lubich, experiences, songs and artistic numbers. It will be the young people of yesterday together with the young people of today, from all parts of the world, from different cultures and convictions, who will share their experiences on: how they have made their own the ideal of Chiara Lubich in their choices and journey, applying it in their specific field of action.
The president Maria Voce will speak at the end of the afternoon. In a message addressed to the Movement on the occasion of this 4th anniversary of the “passing away” of Chiara Lubich from this earth, Maria Voce invites us to make of this moment “a starting point (…) to contribute towards building universal brotherhood”.
