Representatives from 19 countries gathered in Palermo, Sicily, from 7 to 11 October 2026, for the conference entitled “Mediterranean Without Borders”, promoted by the Focolare Movement.
Il-Papa Ljun XIV iltaqa’ ma’ 83 kardinal u isqof, ħbieb tal-Moviment tal-Focolare, li ġew minn 40 pajjiż. Huwa stedinhom biex, fi ħdan il-Knejjes lokali tagħhom u f’dinja mmarkata minn diviżjonijiet u kunflitti, ikunu xhieda ta’ għaqda kapaċi tibni paċi dejjiema.
“This initiative truly touches my heart.” Margaret Karram returns to the Holy City, where she lived for 24 years, to take part in the inauguration of the ‘Within Your Gates’ Forum, organised by Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa and the University of Notre Dame.
“Nerġgħu nivvintaw il-Paċi” – Passi f’mixja ta’ tama – Konferenza organizzata minn Komunjoni u Dritt fl-okkażjoni tal-Ġublew għal dawk li jaħdmu fil-qasam tal-ġustizzja. Id-diskors sħiħ ta’ Prof. Simone Borg.
Dikjarazzjoni tal-President tal-Fokolari dwar is-sitwazzjoni ta’ vjolenza li hemm bħalissa fl-Art Imqaddsa: “Ġustizzja, djalogu u rikonċiljazzjoni, għodda indispensabbli biex tinbena l-paċi”.
Fil-messaġġ għall-55 Jum Dinji għall-Paċi, li Papa Franġisku ta fl-1 ta’ Jannar, hu qal: “Tiddjaloga jfisser tisma’, tikkonfronta, tiftiehem u timxi flimkien.” Fis-silta li ġejja, Chiara Lubich ukoll tistedinna nibnu relazzjonijiet ta’ djalogu li jwasslu għall-paċi.
Building peace is like being on a construction site, where there is always work to be done, and we are all called to “do” our part. Peace is not just the absence of war or an abstract concept; it is something we build together, facing all difficulties and starting from our own small surroundings.
Il-President tal-Fokolari tappella lill-komunità tal-Moviment fid-dinja kollha sabiex mill-ġdid ipoġġu d-djalogu u t-talb, toroq li jwasslu għall-paċi vera, fil-qalba tal-ħajja u ta’ kull ħidma.
