Rome, 25 august 1981 Commentary of the Word of Life1: Truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. (Mt. 18:19-20). This, it seems to me, is one of the things Jesus said that most fill our hearts with joy.

Do you know why? Because he is the successor of Saint Peter. Peter was the first Pope. Then there was another, and then another, and then another and now we have this Pope. The Popes

Rocca di Papa, 9 July 1974 Before her Chiara has the young people (Gen1) of the Movement. Drop by drop, she wishes to transmit to them the whole patrimony of light and wisdom that she has received from God. Here we have her relationship with the Eucharist (...)God is Love: what an infinitely meaningful treasure is contained in these words! God is Love. He is not a God who is far away, static and inaccessible. God is Love and He comes towards each one of us in a thousand different ways. We must only want it.Let's look around us, Gen, to discover together to what folly of love our God ... was moved by His love for us. Let's look to see if in the world there is any trace of His love, any sign of His presence. Let's search for Him, not only to affirm a truth, not out of curiosity, good though it may be, but in order to draw near to His presence, to expose ourselves to the
