The following passage, written by Chiara Lubich, refers to an episode that occurred in a private chapel in Rome, during which she understood in a new way the call to be a presence of Mary on earth.<\/em><\/p>\n “I went into church one day, December 18, 1957<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the Feast of the Assumption, we publish a meditation by Chiara Lubich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"template-full.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-157744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spiritwalita"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nand with my heart full of trust, I asked:
\n‘Why did you wish to remain on earth,
\non every point of the earth,
\nin the most blessed Eucharist,
\nand you, you who are God,
\nhave not found
\nalso a way to to leave here
\nMary, the Mother of all of us who are on our journey?’
\nIn the silence He seemed to reply:
\n‘I have not left her because I want to see her again in you.
\nEven if you are not immaculate, my love will virginise you,
\nand you, all of you,
\nwill open your arms and hearts as mothers of humanity,
\nwhich, as in times past, thirsts for God
\nand for his Mother.
\nIt is you who now must ease pains, soothe wounds, dry tears,
\nSing her litanies
\nand strive to mirror yourself them.'”<\/p>\n
