Chiara Lubich
1920-2008 20th century
Making unity itself a prayer, choosing God even in forsakenness.
Who was Chiara Lubich?
A schoolteacher from Trento, in 1943, under the bombing, she founded the Focolare movement around one intuition: that all may be one. The movement spread across the world and opened to dialogue between Churches and religions.
In their own words
I have only one spouse on earth: Jesus forsaken. I have no other God but him.
That all may be one.
If we are united, Jesus is among us, and that is worth more than any other treasure.
