"We will all be changed by the Victory of our Lord Jesus Christ" (cf. 1 Cor 15:51-58)

Chiara Lubich's message of the 25 December 1973, addressed to the members of the Focolare Movement.

«If I should have to leave this world today and you were to ask me for a single word, one last word that sums up our Ideal, I would say – certain of being perfectly understood – ‘Be a family’.

Claritas is a new online academic journal, published by Purdue University Press in cooperation with the Focolare's Città Nuova publishing house in Rome. Scholars from around the world are looking forward to its first issue.  Callan Slipper, an Anglican theologian and one of the editors and designers of this project, answers some questions about it.

From the Focolare Movement, in the words of the president, Maria Voce.

“Best wishes to all who live that the world might be a true family!

May the life of the Word be the Bethlehem Star that proclaims and invites us to encounter Jesus among us, in a Christmas that lasts forever.”

~ Maria Voce (Emmaus)
