Church : What Is It Who Is It
$14.95Add to cartIn our contemporary world, many people ask, “What purpose does the Church serve? What does it do?” Chiara responds with a concept that is emerging more and more also in ecumenism, namely, that the Church has the task, within humanity, of being a catalyst for unity. And it can be this because it draws its life from God who is Love.
In her way of viewing the Church and in her efforts to “be” the Church, through her charism of unity Chiara Lubich offers important ideas for living in this era of change. From the very beginning of her spiritual adventure, her approach was anything but passive. She encouraged an approach to Church that spoke of sharing in its life and generating it into life. She never considered it an institution outside or above the people.

Art Of Loving
$11.95Add to cartHere is a small volume with a collection of texts drawn from the writings of Chiara Lubich. Her simple down-to-earth language draws us into the very meaning of evangelical love and challenges us to start living it. The same ideas shine through each of these lines, a paradigm which she was fond of using during her last days on this earth, in her urgency to spread the Gospel message of unity and peace to everyone. A few simple phrases compose her Art of Loving, which are drawn from the Gospels and disclose the secret of human fulfillment which is found in divine love. ‘Love everyone,’ ‘Be the first to love,’ ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ‘Love each other as I have loved you,’ ‘Make yourself one.’ The universal message of Love is the message of Christianity and it is the Golden Rule of all the Great Religions. It is a message that is written into the DNA of every person, even those who seem far from God. This small book is like a daily handbook for anyone who wishes to answer the call of Love each day in today’s ever-changing society, a call that Chiara Lubich believed to be the primary vocation of every human person and our personal and collective fulfillment.
