The General Assembly of the Focolare Movement has concluded
September 28, 2014
The 2014 Assembly has closed its doors and has done so together with the members of the Focolare Movement around the world: a live internet connection, the final act after these 28 days at Castel Gandolfo (Rome).
In the concluding session of the Assembly the words of Pope Francis during an audience granted to its participants two days before are strongly echoed. “This Work has sprung up from a gift of the Holy Spirit – without a doubt! -, the charism of unity, that the Father wants to give to the Church and to the world to help realize with incisiveness and prophecy Jesus’ prayer: “May they all be one” (Jn 17:21).” And he continued, “Our thoughts turn with great affection and gratitude to Chiara Lubich, extraordinary witness of this gift, who in her fruitful existence has brought the scent of Jesus to many human realities and in many parts of the world.” Those “three words” that Pope Francis wanted to deliver to the Focolare Movement: contemplate, go out, and form, accompanied by a strong call to generosity and creativity, were widely recalled.
