«That all may be one» (Jn. 17,21)
We were born for these words, for unity, to give a contribution to its realization in the world. Chiara Lubich

On January 1st, the World Day of Peace, we offer a synthesis of a talk given by Chiara Lubich in 1997 for a Symposium at the United Nations in New York. "...our Movement, aims at bringing peace into the world. (...) As it seeks to build unity among individuals, among groups and among nations; as it dreams of a future in which the world will be truly united, it is a force for peace in the world.

Reflection by Chiara Lubich "In living out this phrase of the Gospel, we can have the presence of Jesus in our midst: not the presence of a particular virtue, but of a person. We do not see Him with our eyes, but he is present and knows our every thought, every beat of our heart, every response of our soul. He is present..."

Reflection by Chiara Lubich "Jesus did not come on earth solely to prepare us for Eternal Life. Certainly, this was his main mission. He was also concerned with the earthly life of men and women... ...He wants us to renounce all that is not right, that is not good, that is not lawful, that is not correct, that is not pure…."

Reflection by Chiara Lubich "You have chosen God as the Ideal of your life, and hundreds of thousands of people the world over have discovered and chosen Him with you, in contrast to the current deep spiritual crisis. What makes this ideal of God so fascinating?"

It is with his death on the cross on Good Friday that Jesus teaches the most sublime, divine, heroic lesson of what love is.

Each year, a special atmosphere seems to envelop us. And it cannot be otherwise, because in the space of just a few days we recall and re-live many of the mysteries of our faith. In fact during these days, that which we call to mind is all love.
