SPIRITUALITY OF UNITY

Become a world-person
We continue the theme of Jesus crucified and forsaken, with extracts of a prophetic talk given by Chiara Lubich to the young people of the Focolare (the Gen) in 1972. Her talk to them seems equally relevant today, if not more so, and can be a light for anyone trying to live as a Christian in today’s world.
