The contribution of the Focolare Movement to the Synodal Journey

My Experience at the Mariapolis of Shropshire, the summer gathering of the Focolare in Great Britain

Focolare founder Chiara Lubich had an extraordinary experience during the summer of 1949. Living City is now publishing a series of texts written by the Italian theologian Fr. Fabio Ciardi, OMI explaining the meaning and impact of these writings called Paradise ’49. 

“He had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.” (Lk. 24:35)

A reflection for Pentecost 

Responses from our audience to the questions: "When do you feel close to God? And when do you feel far away from God?".

“Many people have a custom of giving up something for Lent. Is giving up sweets or alcohol the best way to live the Lenten season? What do you do for Lent?”

I acknowledge with gratitude and respect that I reside on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the Kwikwetlem First Nation, a Coast Salish People.
