Remembering the Honorary Citizenship of Rome
On the occasion of her eightieth birthday, Chiara was awarded the Honorary Citizenship of Rome.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven” (Mt 5,3).
Chiara Lubich highlights the fact that the poor are not so much those who do not have, but rather those who give. "The 'poor in spirit', because while they have gone without, have everything; they are poor in themselves yet they are rich in God. The evangelical phrase also applies here: "Give and it will be given to you" (Lk 6:38): we give what we have and we are given back nothing less than the Kingdom of heaven." The text is published in C. LUBICH, "Parole di Vita", edited by Fabio Ciardi, “Opere di Chiara Lubich”, Città Nuova-Centro Chiara Lubich, Rome 2017, p. 704.
«Ho un solo sposo sulla terra»
20 settembre 1949 – 20 settembre 2024
Sono passati 75 anni dal giorno in cui Chiara Lubich stilò lo scritto «Ho un solo sposo sulla terra», qui riproposto. Uno scritto destinato a diventare fin dagli inizi un vero e proprio Manifesto programmatico per Chiara e per chi l’avrebbe seguita facendo propria la spiritualità dell’unità.
