Characteristics of the Politician of Unity
Turin (Royal Theatre), 2 June 2002 Chiara Lubich outlines the identity-kit of the politician who lives for unity, who interpellates voters and those elected in the context of the European elections. It is not my experience but a theme that I was asked to address. The title is this: “The Movement for Unity – which would be the political expression of the Focolare Movement – and political fraternity. Dear Mr. Mayor, Your Eminence, Honourable senators and deputies, civil and religious leaders who have come from all over the Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta regions, ladies and gentlemen, young people here present, it’s with great joy that I accept this invitation to speak of fraternity in the light of the experience and charter of the Movement for Unity.

Non ero andata là per un pellegrinaggio. (...) Chiara Lubich Testo
I saw the Holy Land

The perforated stone From the very blue coast of the Beirut gulf I was contemplating the city which had recently been shaken by the earthquake.

We were continuing our flight towards the sea, we were ascending and soon we would be able to face the first mountains of Palestine again. At that moment, I didn’t think that Jerusalem and the Holy Places would have made such an impact on my soul. (...) Chiara Lubich Text
Understanding One’s Way
Florence, 17 September 2000 How do we take the right path for our life? An answer of Chiara Lubich. I want to correspond with all my being to God’s love for me. It’s not clear to me yet which way I should follow. How can I grow every day in choosing him in a radical and absolute way? Chiara: She’s asking two questions. First, how can I understand my way? In other words: I don’t know my way… and I’d like to know it (...) In order to understand your way – she intends the right way, the will of God for her – you must first of all pray, because if you are serious about following God’s will, you become a laborer of Jesus, one of those laborers Jesus mentioned when he said that the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few, and he said "pray", so we must pray. So, to understand your way, those among you who might not know your way, remember that it is necessary
