Claire of Assisi and Chiara Lubich: One Choice, that of God
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.

Jesús Moràn: the relevance of “Paradise ’49”
Seventy years ago it was Chiara Lubich herself who defined as “Paradise ‘49” the mystical experience through which God conveyed to her and, through her, to the Movement during its early times, the full understanding of the charism of unity and of the Work that would be born of it. Jesús Moràn, co-President of the Focolare Movement, is also taking part and we asked him to explain its relevance and vision.
