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. "An informative and readable book. Gallagher tells the story of how this remarka...

15 Days of Prayer with 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.

Mary
Mary has often accompanied the life and spirituality of Christian saints in both the Western and Eastern churches. In this compilation you'll discover a rich spirituality of the Mother of God which will challenge, inform, and strengthen the reader. Mary has always inspired individuals, families, and nations. Even in a secular era like ours, she is a reference point for many. Indeed, in recent times the understanding of Mary has been “updated” to emphasize not only her extraordinary sanctity, but her as a member with us in the People of God and as a model of the Church. Mary: Her Identity, Our Identity contains a collection of texts on Mary as contemplated by Chiara Lubich. What Chiara told a group of young people sums up who Mary was for her, and who she can be for us: “My vocation, which is also yours, more than speaking with Mary… is to live Mary, to be her, to do as she did, and, above all, that she should re-live in us.”
