The eleventh Assembly of the World Council of Churches runs from 31 August to 8 September 2022 in Karlsruhe, Germany. The Focolare Movement has long been linked to the WCC by ties of friendship and collaboration, which continue in this latest Assembly.
On the Feast of the Assumption, we publish a meditation by Chiara Lubich.
The European Mariapolis 2022 was held from 24 to 28 July. The event, entitled A Path to Peace, was held at the Mariapolis Luminosa Centre (Las Rozas de Madrid) and brought together almost 200 participants, with a high percentage of young people and representatives from different European countries: Great Britain, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Malta, Portugal, Italy and, of course, Spain.
“Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” (Mt. 18:21)
The Meeting had the aim of bringing to conclusion the year dedicated to the Apostolic Exhortation “Amoris Laetitia” and it was expected to be conducted in a different way than usual.
Seventy-three years after that historic day of the “Pact of Unity” between Chiara Lubich and Igino Giordani (Foco), Margaret Karram sends her best wishes and planetary greetings to all the communities of the Movement.
“There is need of only one thing” (Lk. 10:42).
