[:mt]Il-pandemija tal-Coronavirus sfaxxat  programmi, strutturi u proċeduri fl-oqsma kollha tal-ħajja tal-bniedem. Kullimkien qed tinħass il-ħtieġa ta’ kreattività  biex jinsabu tweġibiet għall-isfidi li qed iġġib magħha din is-sitwazzjoni. Dak li Chiara Lubich kienet qalet fis-1983 hu attwali ħafna għal-lum.[:en]The Coronavirus pandemic has disrupted programs, systems and procedures in all areas of human life.

[:mt]Festa ta’ Marija Mtellgħa s-Sema. “Jekk Marija hi Reġina, jeħtieġ li ssaltan!” Silta minn meditazzjoni ta’ Chiara Lubich[:]

In an article published in 1948, in the journal “Fides”, Chiara Lubich recounts how, through the example of Claire of Assisi, she and her first companions received confirmation of the genuineness of the evangelical way of life which characterised the growing Movement.

On the feast day of St Claire of Assisi, we publish a spiritual thought by Chiara Lubich which encourages every Christian to put God in the first place of the their life.

[:mt]Il-pandemija qanqlet individwi u assoċjazzjonijiet. L-impenn u l-ġenerożità, spiss b’mod erojku mhumiex nieqsa. Ma’ dawn l-isforzi kollha tajjeb li nżidu sehem deċiżiv li jiġi mit-talb li kapaċi jċaqlaq il-muntanji. Ħsieb ta’ Chiara Lubich (13 ta’ settembru 1990). [:en]To cope with the pandemic, individuals and associations, health workers and scientific communities, governments and international organizations are responding in a variety of ways. Creativity and generosity, which are often heroic, are never lacking. To all these efforts should be added the decisive contribution that comes from prayer that is able to move mountains. Spiritual thought by Chiara Lubich.[:]
