The President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella <\/em>paid <\/em>a private visit yesterday morning, 2 May, to the International Center of the Focolare Movement in Rocca di Papa (Rome).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cI am delighted to be here; thank you for your warm welcome. The Focolare Movement\u2019s contribution to our country, quite apart from the ecclesial dimension, is an advocacy to solidarity, to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n

With these words, Sergio Mattarella, President of the Italian Republic, thanked Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare, for the invitation made in a spirit of friendship to visit the International Center of the Focolare in Rocca di Papa (Rome) this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concept of \u2018focolare\u2019 [hearth], of forming a family \u2013 continued the President in his greeting to those present \u2013 is a constant and comprehensive call to build community, to realize that each of us needs the others and that only by working together can positive and acceptable progress be achieved. This contribution is particularly important for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>President Mattarella was also welcomed by Focolare Co-President Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n, by Maria Voce, former President and the General Council representing the Focolare all over the world.<\/p>\n

The President wished, during his visit, to pay homage to the memory of Chiara Lubich and Igino Giordani, who are buried in the chapel at the Centre.<\/p>\n

It is a happy coincidence that this visit to the tomb of the Hon. Giordani \u2013 who was a member of the Constituent Assembly of Italy and father of the Republic \u2013 occurred today, 2nd May 2021, 25 years after the birth of the Politics for Unity Movement. This Movement was founded by Chiara Lubich \u201cso that \u2013 in the words of Focolare founder \u2013 fraternity should become a political category\u201d. Pope Francis too, at today\u2019s Angelus prayer, recalled this anniversary, wishing all the members of the Politics for Unity Movement \u201cgood work in the service of good politics\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Upon his arrival, President Mattarella went to see the bronze sculpture of the Hon. Igino Giordani, a work by the artist Peter Kostner, which was installed on 18th April, on the occasion of the 41st anniversary of Giordani\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

In her greeting, Margaret Karram assured the President that the Focolare will continue to intensify its solidarity initiatives, \u201cextending them to the multitude of people whose lives are deeply affected by the health crisis. The world \u2013 she continued \u2013 is in desperate need of greater sharing, especially in times like these, and the Focolare\u2019s ideal of the unity can and should make its contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, recalling Chiara Lubich\u2019s appeal to all those who adhere to the spirituality of unity to \u201cbe a family\u201d, Margaret Karram concluded by affirming the wish to \u201cfollow through with the program that, at the last General Assembly of the Focolare Movement, we gave ourselves for these times, namely: \u201cto embrace the world, listening to the cry of humanity, of creation and of the new generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe pandemic continues to claim lives and peace is hardly able to establish itself in international relations,\u201d said Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n, Co-President of the Focolare, in his homily at Mass. \u201cMore intense and fervent prayer is needed, but for this to happen Christians need to decide to remain in Christ, in his love, living the commandment of mutual love.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his final greeting, President Mattarella said: \u201cEarlier I was kindly shown the chapel with the splendid mosaic behind the altar and the tombs of Chiara Lubich, of Igino Giordani whom I was lucky enough to meet when I was young, and of Father Foresi: all extraordinary figures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President has also described Igino Giordani, in the preface to the recently published biography \u201cIgino Giordani an unarmed hero\u201d (by Alberto Lo Presti, Citt\u00e0 Nuova Ed.) as \u201can inspiriting witness of Christian life.\u201d<\/p>\n
