I just read of the death of Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement. This is a global movement dedicated to unity - bringing together people of all faiths and people of no faith, to build a more united world. This is so close to my own heart that I am astonished I had not heard of her and this movement before.
I just read a speach she made (at http://www.focolare.org.uk/ArcImagine.htm), in which she talks of love, of peace and quotes Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.:-
“The golden rule,” said Mahatma Gandhi, “is to be friends of the world and to consider the whole human family as ‘one’.”(See Note 5)
And Martin Luther King: “I have a dream that one day…” all people will realize that they were created to live together as brothers and sisters and that fraternity will become the order of the day for businesspersons and the password for statesmen and women.
What a wonderful woman and what a loss for the world.
