Booklet: As a teenager on pilgrimage to Loreto at the start of the Second World War, Chiara Lubich had a premonition of a “whole host” of other young women who would follow her way of total dedication to God.
Today, the movement she began - the Work of Mary, commonly known as the Focolare - is present on every continent on earth. Encouraged by every Pope since Pius XII, they seek to be a presence of Mary in the Church and the world, and to live and realise Our Lord’s final priestly prayer; “May they be one Father, as I am in You and You are in Me”.
Chiara Lubich: Servant of Unity (2012) tells the powerful story of the founder of the Focolare movement, who dedicate their lives to the poor and the unity of all people. The booklet is currently available in e-book form only.
About the author: Jim Gallagher is a journalist and the author of various CTS publications including biographies of St Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.
