Here and Now

Meditations on Living in the Present

By: Chiara Lubich

What is time? We measure it and we use it to measure an infinite number of things. We try to save it. We live in it. (Can we live without it?) Paul told us to redeem it but we have to admit that we do not perfectly understand what it means. Has it real existence of its own? Or is it something man has made up as an aid to measuring the sequence and duration of events or to describing historical incidents in relation to each other? Even for the greatest scientists it is hard to define, it remains to some extent a mysteryÂ—one of the most fascinating. In a series of inspiring meditations, Chiara Lubich shows us that living the present moment is our way to be connected with what is unlimited: eternity. It puts us in touch, already here on earth, with heaven. Â“In the light of her Christian faith and a lifetime of experience with her friends, Chiara Lubich gives us advice on how to use well the `here and now.' If we focus on the present moment, we are planting a seed in eternity, to be enjoyed forever.Â” Julian Stead, O.S.B. Author of Saint Benedict: A Rule for Beginners

Jesus in Our Midst

Source of Joy and Light

By: Chiara Lubich

A collection of inspiring writings and talks by Chiara Lubich about the presence of Jesus among us: an essential point of the spirituality of unity. In a world where social communication networks are multiplying out of all proportion, paradoxically there seems to be an ever-increasing sense of isolation and loneliness. In this context, one wonders about the deeper meaning of life. How are we fulfilled? Where do we find true happiness? On the one hand, society exalts individualism and self-determination. But on the other many people yearn for authentic and profound relationships. They ask, often with a sense of anxiety: "What is the meaning of my life? How can I reconcile seemingly conflicting demands? How do we build relationships of true communion?" By living the experience of Jesus in the midst, as presented in this book, we can find the answer to these questions that touch the heart of every person, an answer that does not come from human reasoning, but from life.

A New Way

The Spirituality of Unity

By: Chiara Lubich

The history of spirituality has never seen a way to God like this one. Till now all forms of spiritual growth have focused on the individualÂ’s discovery of the Beauty of Beauties, the God who fascinates the human heart. And they have striven to find ways in which individuals can be transformed, ways in which they can enter into the ultimate experience. In essence none of this disappears. But the spirituality that Chiara Lubich and her companions have discovered is a Â“new wayÂ” in which people go to God not primarily as individuals, but together. It is a Â“spirituality of communion,Â” as described by John Paul II. No longer is the spiritual life about withdrawing from other people, nor just about serving them. It is about living with them in unity, growing together in God. Â“What do I wish for this book? That it may become nourishment for the lives of many and that it may contribute to making the Church beautiful, so that for the salvation of the world and for the glory of God the Church may live among men and women, as a sign of and a pointer towards happiness.Â” Cardinal Miloslav Vlk Archbishop of Prague

Meditations

By: Chiara Lubich

With simple, clear language, Chiara Lubich’s meditations transport readers to a heavenly dimension, to a heavenly way of reasoning, a heavenly way of acting. In “To Live Life,” she writes: ‘The Christian is called . . . to swim in the light, to plunge into a sea of crosses, but not to pine away.” This openness to life, to light, and even to crosses, comes from opening the heart in faith to gospel love. It practices the Word of God in a radical way. And in “Not Mine but Yours Be Done,” the sun and its rays symbolize God and his will for each individual: “The closer the rays come to the sun, the closer they come to one another. We too, the closer we come to God, by doing the will of God more and more perfectly, the closer we come to one another. Until we are all one.” These simple, yet deep and challenging passages will plunge you into the reality of authentic Christian life, will draw you closer to God and to your neighbor . . . until we all are one.

Mary, the Transparency of God

By: Chiara Lubich

What is it that Christians of many different Churches find so attractive about the young Jewish girl who gave birth to Jesus? This book does more than hint at an answer. Chiara Lubichs gospelbased intuitions are a source of new insights for Christians of all traditions. Not only do we see the beauty of a human being who gave birth to God made flesh, not only do we taste the essential poetry of this unique event in history and enter more fully into all it implies, but we are made able to translate this vision into our daily lives. Mary becomes less a person we admire, an object of veneration, and more a source of inspiration, an example on which we can model our lives. It seems to me that the present times call for a reintroduction of Mary, Chiara Lubich says. To do this, we hope here to promote a new vision of Mary, one that is largely unknown, based on what God chose to show us about her. It is my hope that these pages of Chiara, so rich in witness to Mary and in meditations about her, may nourish us and help very many people to say like Mary and with her their own Here I am, their own yes to the plan and path that God has prepared for the life of each person. The multitude of people who have walked with Chiara along this path can testify that it leads also by way of the experience of the cross to happiness. From the Foreword by Joseph Cardinal Schnborn Archbishop of Vienna

Mary

Her identity, Our identity

By: Chiara Lubich

Mary has often accompanied the life and spirituality of Christian saints in both the Western and Eastern churches. In this compilation you'll discover a rich spirituality of the Mother of God which will challenge, inform, and strengthen the reader. Mary has always inspired individuals, families, and nations. Even in a secular era like ours, she is a reference point for many. Indeed, in recent times the understanding of Mary has been “updated” to emphasize not only her extraordinary sanctity, but her as a member with us in the People of God and as a model of the Church. Mary: Her Identity, Our Identity contains a collection of texts on Mary as contemplated by Chiara Lubich. What Chiara told a group of young people sums up who Mary was for her, and who she can be for us: “My vocation, which is also yours, more than speaking with Mary… is to live Mary, to be her, to do as she did, and, above all, that she should re-live in us.”

The Pearl of the Gospel

Short Reflections on Reciprocal Love

By: Chiara Lubich

One October day in Trent during World War II, Chiara Lubich was with her friends, and a bombing raid began. They couldn’t make it to the bomb shelter, so they took cover in the cellar. As the house shook over their heads and the bombs fell all around them, they were convinced that they were going to die at that moment. Lubich asked: is there something we could do right now at the moment of our death that would be especially pleasing to God? They opened the Gospel at random and read: “This I command you: that you love one another” (John 15:17). These friends made a pact among themselves of “mutual love.” They promised to love one another as Jesus had loved them and to make this particular commandment the basis of all that they did. So, while some Christians emphasize the apostolic mandate to go out and preach to all nations, baptizing them, Lubich emphasized John’s mandate for those who came to be part of the Focolare Movement (the ecclesial movement that grew up around Lubich): “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) The excerpts from Chiara Lubich’s writings that are collected here reflect the deep union with God that she experienced individually and as part of the Body of Christ as she put this “pearl” of the Gospel into practice.

Rays

Shorts Reflections on Living God's Will

By: Chiara Lubich

Each of us has a ray that burst forth from the Father's heart when he spoke our name with the word Love. If we follow this ray, which is his will for us, what he lovingly desired, and continues in each moment to desire for us, we will become what we are in the mind of God from all eternity. It's a matter of corresponding to his will, adhering to it, moment by moment, until the day when it will literally lead us back to the sun, to the Father ... Chiara notes how the rays draw nearer and nearer to each other until they become one in the sun. As we do the will of God, we will become closer and closer to each other, until we are all one in the sun, in God. (From the Introduction).

The Love That Comes from God

Reflections on the Family

By: Chiara Lubich

The Love That Comes from God offers an attractive vision of the role of the family in today's world. Chiara Lubich addresses such themes as love, education, and prayer, showing how they shape the spiritual development of the family. This book is a valuable tool for families and those who minister to them. "The material in this book can make a real contribution to the field. I found Chiara's insight on love as the first constituting factor of family to be outstanding. I see this work as truly helpful, especially strong on viewing family through the lens of faith. I will be glad to use it and recommend it." Barbara Markey, N.D., Ph.D. Family Life Office Director, Archdiocese of Omaha Author of FOCCUS Marriage Preparation "The writings of Chiara Lubich presented here help us understand in a much more profound way just what the family really is."

God Loves You Immensely

By: Chiara Lubich

These pages are good news in every sense of the word, from forgetting the worries of the day to the certainty that God loves each and every one and demonstrated this by giving his life. For every sentence in this book you can find a corresponding passage in the Bible, the authoritative source of all Chiara's thinking. Collections of quotations from famous people are in circulation everywhere. Often these brief sentences offer rich aphorisms that are able to strike at the heart of many issues. Chiara Lubich's words had never been put together in such a format, a gap that this small book seeks to overcome. These helpful sentences express what we ourselves sometimes think and experience but can never quite seem to put into words so well. They can help us to live what we feel inside to be our true destiny.
