The Focolare Movement, also known as “Opera di Maria”, was founded in Trent, Italy, in 1943. It is present today in 182 nations and reaches over 5 million people.
Chiara Lubich, together with a small group of friends, realized that God is the only ideal worth living for and as a result they focused their lives on the Gospel. Many others followed. Their goal became one of striving towards the fulfilment of Jesus’ prayer to the Father: “May they all be one” (Jn 17:21).
A spirituality of unity came to life and gave rise to a movement of spiritual and social renewal. Through its 18 branches and 6 mass movements the Focolare spirituality is having an impact on family life, the youth world and on all areas of ecclesial and secular life. Throughout the years fruitful dialogues have opened up in the catholic world, among christians of different churches, among believers of different religions and even with people of good will with no religious affiliations.
