Chiara Lubich
The New York Times called Chiara Lubich “one of the most influential women in the Catholic Church.” And she was even more than that. Her spirituality has touched millions of people worldwide from different Christian churches, religions and cultural backgrounds.

A Woman's Work
May 14, 1944: a young Italian woman sits on a hillside overlooking the city of Trent and watches her home being destroyed by wartime bombing. Inside her begins to stir a vision that would produce an international movement dedicated to religious unity, peace and devotion. Today, the Focolare Movement, begun by this determined woman, Chiara Lubich, has grown to number more than 4 million supporters. It is the largest world-wide Christian movement. Sometimes controversial, often inspiring, the Focolare has more than 150,000 committed members, among them "consecrated" single people living in residential communities.

Early Letters
Chiara Lubich is now being called a great Catholic mystic of our times. In these letters we encounter this mystical side of Chiara who is also the bearer of a charism, a gift from the Holy Spirit in response to the special needs of the Church and of the world. Chiara's charism is unity, the unity that Jesus asked for us from his Father: "May they all be one as we are one - I in them and you in me - so that they may be brought to complete unity" (Jn 17: 22-23). Chiara saw God's love in everyone and everything. The light of this discovery enveloped her, and she felt like she was at the center of the Father's love. This discovery is at the foundation of Chiara's spirituality which emerges from ...
May They All Be One
Back in print again! May They All Be One is the best introduction to the origins and life of the Focolare Movement. With clear, vivid storytelling Chiara Lubich opens us to the adventure of living for God. “Back in 1943, in the northern Italian city of Trent, there were just a few of us. But it was wartime. Bombs were falling, destroying parts of our city and claiming their victims. We looked around at all the ruins and asked ourselves: ‘Is there anything that does not pass away? Any reality that no bombs can destroy?’ And as though someone had enlightened us from within, we answered: ‘Yes, there is such a reality: it is God. God endures forever.’ So, driven by a supernatural force, we decided to make God the “Ideal” of our lives.” (Chiara Lubich)

Jesus in Our Midst
A collection of inspiring writings and talks by Chiara Lubich about the presence of Jesus among us: an essential point of the spirituality of unity. In a world where social communication networks are multiplying out of all proportion, paradoxically there seems to be an ever-increasing sense of isolation and loneliness. In this context, one wonders about the deeper meaning of life. How are we fulfilled? Where do we find true happiness? On the one hand, society exalts individualism and self-determination. But on the other many people yearn for authentic and profound relationships. They ask, often with a sense of anxiety: "What is the meaning of my life? How can I reconcile seemingly conflicting demands? How do we build relationships of true communion?" By living the experience of Jesus in the midst, as presented in this book, we can find the answer to these questions that touch the heart of every person, an answer that does not come from human reasoning, but from life.
