About this title

Synopsis

Advance Praise & Reviews

“A timely collection of meditations from one of the greatest laywomen of the twentieth century. The message of unity is needed today in an era of polarization and self-righteousness, but Chiara Lubich understands that more is needed than exhortations to be nice to one another. She puts forward a vision and a practice of uniting by rising above our selves, and letting God be our unity.” ― William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University

Modern Spiritual Masters Series

Foreword by Sarah Coakley

Chiara Lubich (1920-2008), founder of the Focolare Movement, an international movement for unity and renewal, present in 180 countries with more than 140K members and millions more sympathizers, contributed a life, a movement, and a rich set of spiritual writings to the Church and the world. This volume gathers excerpts from the writings that focus on the historical origins and contemporary meaning of her spirituality of communion.
