In the forty years since it was born in 1967, New Families has concentrated its activity on a new emphasis in family life and a new culture of the family, based on four principles: education, formation, sociality, and solidarity.

A commitment by its members to live the Focolare spirituality of unity in a radical way is the basis of this life. It is a “vocation” that lived in a family is also formation. The deep unity that parents build day after day is a powerful example for children, and provides a framework where the generation gap is not a clash of opposites, but a positive exchange of gifts.

“The family is not closed within itself”, said Iginio Giordani, considered by Chiara Lubich a cofounder of New Families, “but grows like a cell that lives as much for others as for itself. A new society is born, as if from a natural sacred well, from families that live the Gospel”.

The Cube, a program to help children concretely live the Gospel message of love, is an expression of the Gospel-based "art of loving."
On each face of the Cube there is a brief message that focuses the child's efforts on caring for others. These 6 points include:

  • Love everyone
  • Be the first to love
  • Love Jesus in the other
  • Share the other’s hurt or joy
  • Love your enemy
  • We love one another

The Cube allows students, as well as teachers and parents, to respond with very real and tangible experiences of love.
This program, created by Focolare founder Chiara Lubich, not only helps to prevent conflict and violence but contributes to a growth in faith, to the building of a more Christian community, and to an ever greater awareness of the universal family and the needy worldwide.
