The Art of Loving
by Chiara Lubich
In disarmingly simple down-to-earth language
Chiara Lubich draws her
readers into the very heart of evangelical love and gently
challenges them to start living it. She never tires of repeating
the ideas that shine through each of the texts collected
in this volume. Even to the last, she urged those around
her to spread the Gospel message of unity and peace to all.
The few simple phrases that make up her Art of Loving, drawn
from the
Gospels, disclose the secret of human fulfillment found
in divine love: “Love everyone,” “Be the
first to love.”
Price: 315 pesos

When The Word Becomes Life
by
Chiara Lubich
This book offers readers a glimpse of the
soul of Chiara Lubich, who gave life to a worldwide Movement
of men, women, and children from all walks of life - people
who have come together in living the Gospel. Chiara’s
language is spiritual, at times mystical, but always practical.
These short reflections lead the reader into the very heart
of the Good News, to the discovery of that Light which is
ever ancient, ever new – the Light and beauty that
Chiara discovered shining beneath every word of the Gospel:
Jesus, the Word, the Light for every person who comes into
this world.
Price: 125 pesos

I
am a Christian and I want my child to grow
up not only as a good human being, but also
as a good Christian. Is there a connection
between Christian and human formation?
There is more and more talk of a period
of a “prolonged adolescence”,
or even of a new intermediate age as “emerging
adults.” Are these phenomena a “sign
of the times” or are we witnessing
the rise of some new yet ancient ideological
model? What is the single most important
element that clearly distinguishes youth
from adulthood?

Just
as the Redemption
freed us from divisions, it also reunited us
to God. Christ has placed God in us and us in
God. For this reason he
commanded us to love one another, for where
there is love, God is present:
“God is love, whoever is in love
is in God, and God is in him.”
An Easter meditation by Igino Giordani
