Maria Voce President of the Focolare Movement INFORMATION SERVICE DOSSIER Rocca di Papa (Rome), January 2016 Maria Voce President of the Focolare Movement Maria Voce was elected president of the Focolare Movement during its General Assembly in 2008. She is the first focolarina to succeed the foundress, Chiara Lubich, who passed away during that same year. The 2014 General Assembly re‐elected her for a second term. The first of seven children, she was born in Aiello Calabro (Cosenza, Italy) on July 16, 1937. Her father was a doctor; her mother a housewife. Struck by the gospel witness of some fellow students, members of the Focolare Movement, whom she met during her university years in Rome, Maria Voce started to live the spirit of the Movement. At the age of 26, she felt God was calling her and left a very promising career ‐ she was the first woman lawyer at Cosenza’s Court ‐ to follow him in the way of the Focolare. Chiara gave her the name “Emmaus”, which recalls the event of the two disciples, who on the way to the village of Emmaus, encountered Jesus after his resurrection and recognized his presence in their midst through the breaking of the bread. After 8 years in Sicily, for 6 years she was one of Chiara Lubich’s personal secretariat. Then, she spent ten years in Istanbul, where she established ecumenical relationships with Demetrio I, who at that time was the Patriarch of Constantinople and many other metropolitans, among them, Bartholomew I, who is now the Patriarch. During these years, she also had the precious opportunity to establish direct contact and relationship with the Islamic world. In 1988, she resumed her collaboration at the Centre of the Movement. From 1995 to 2008 she was a member of the Abba School, an interdisciplinary study centre founded by Chiara Lubich. Her studies in theology and in canon law were an asset for this work. From 2000 to 2008 she was co‐responsible for the international commission, “Communion and Law”, a network of academics and professionals involved in law. She worked directly with Lubich to update the Movement’s General Statutes from 2002 till the time of their approval in 2007. When she was elected president of the Focolare Movement (July 7, 2008), she was received by Pope Benedict XVI. On her re‐election as president (September 12, 2014), she was received by Pope Francis in a private audience together with about 500 General Assembly participants, among them the newly elected councilors whom she presented to the Pope. On this occasion, the Holy Father entrusted the Focolare with these three keywords: contemplate, go out, educate. EVENTS DURING HER PRESIDENCY Maria Voce travelled to various countries in the world to meet the Focolare Communities and support them in their civil and religious commitments. In 2009, she went to Fontem (Camerun), where she joined the Bangwa people for the Cry Die (the end of mourning) in honor of Chiara Lubich. She was recognized by Dr. Lukas Nijfua, the Fon of Fontem, as “the guardian of Chiara’s legacy”. In 2013 she was in Amman, Jordan, where she was received by His Royal Highness King Abdullah II. In 2014, she travelled to Recife, Brazil; there she spoke at the inauguration ceremony of the“Cátedra Chiara Lubich de Fraternidade e Humanismo”at the Pontifical Catholic University (UNICAP). In October 2008 she participated in the Synod of Bishops on “The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church”, and in October 2012 in the Synod on “The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith”. The Holy See appointed her as Vice‐Chancellor of Sophia University Institute (IUS), inaugurated in December 2008 and situated in the small town of Loppiano, Italy. 2. In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI appointed her as consultant to the Pontifical Council for the Laity, and in 2011 she was appointed by him as consultant to the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. She gave her testimony to the Philippine clergy during a national gathering with their bishops that is held every ten years (Manila, 2010). During the beatification ceremony of Chiara Luce Badano (Rome, 2010), the first member of the Focolare Movement to be declared blessed, she highlighted “the Church’s confirmation that the spirituality of unity leads to holiness”. She spoke during the event “Charisms in Communion” held in Assisi (2010); this occasion brought together movements, new communities, religious orders and institutes. She was also invited to speak during the XIV International Conference of the Catholic Fraternity, a federation of Catholic charismatic communities. She was one of the speakers on the day dedicated to ecumenism during the 50th International Eucharistic Congress held in Ireland in 2012; Brother Alois, the Prior of Taizé and the Anglican Reverend Jackson were the other speakers. On September 2, 2012 she delivered the final message to 12,000 young people gathered in Budapest (Hungary) for the Genfest, an international manifestation with the title “Let’s bridge”. Rome 2012, Città Nuova Publications launched the interview‐book with Maria Voce: The wager of Emmaus. What the focolarini do and think after Chiara Lubich’s departure. On the occasion of the Synod on the New Evangelization (2012), she was invited to speak during a conference entitled “Good News”, that was organized by the capital city of Rome and held at the Capitol. “Men and women in the Church” was the subject she spoke about in Paris (2012) on the 87th edition of Semaines Sociales de France dedicated to “Hommes et femmes, la nouvelle donne”. On September 13, 2013 she had her first private audience with Pope Francis, who encouraged the Focolare Movement to continue with its work and commitment, particularly in the ecumenical and interreligious field. December 7, 2013, the 70th anniversary of the Movement; the five‐year canonical period since the passing away of Chiara Lubich was over, so the formal request for the initiation of the Cause of the beatification and canonization of the Movement’s foundress was submitted to Frascati’s Bishop Raffaello Martinelli. The official opening of the Cause took place on January 27, 2015 at the Cathedral of Frascati (Rome). In 2014, she received a Doctorate h.c. in Law from Notre Dame University (USA) for “her extraordinary leadership” and for the Movement’s “great witness and inspiration” to the world. On November 7, 2014, Fr. Angelo Maffeis, president of Paul VI Institute joined Maria Voce for the opening of the study days about “Paul VI and Chiara Lubich. The prophecy of a Church in dialogue”, that were held at Castelgandolfo, Rome. These study days were organized by Paul VI Institute (Brescia) and Chiara Lubich Centre (Rocca di Papa, RM) During a special audience with sixty Bishops friends of the Focolare Movement (Vatican March 4, 2015), she greeted Pope Francis on behalf of 150 representatives of Evangelical movements whom she met two days before in Germany. The Pope confirmed the importance of the ecumenical work promoted by the Movement. She spoke at the conference entitled “Chiara Lubich: unity and politics” that took place at Montecitorio, the seat of the Italian Parliament (Rome, 2015).

Lubich adopted the “Spiritual Thoughts” as an education resource capable of reaching people and places that she could not physically reach. In addition, throughout her life, she developed an educa- tional approach seen as a different Catholic pedagogy perspective due to its notoriety in the religious and social spheres. The aim of the current study is to investigate, through the analysis of one of the “Spiritual Thoughts” by Chiara Lubich, how she configured her educational practice through messages and, more specifically, to as- sess the pedagogical approach in her writings. The reflection presents the concepts of charisma, religious field and symbolic relations based on the historical and social perspective as theoretical reference. Keywords: Collegamento; Chiara Lubich; catholic pedagogy; spiritual thought. * Maria José Dantas PhD is professor in Department of Education, Federal University of Sergipe; member of the Brazilian Society of History of Education; member of the Brazilian (Auto)Biographical Research Association; member of the Group for Studies and Research in History of Education: memories, subjects, knowledge and educational practices.

  • Of the International Schoenstatt Movement Rome, 2 June 2006 An
    english of the International Schoenstatt Movement Rome, 2 June 2006 An Hour in the Cenacle at Andrea della Valle Admission at 7.30 p.m. Candles can be bought at the entrance of the church. A short sing- ing practice will take place before the vigil. The Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle where we meet for our Cenacle Hour “Sant’ Andrea della Valle” (St Andrew in the Valley) has been named after the lower ground on the left bank of the Tiber and a Roman family that had prop- erty there. The early Baroque interior of the church is one of the largest of the inner city of Rome and is crowned with the largest dome after that of St Pe- ter’s. The church contains a number of religious, historical and artistic items of particular interest. For centuries it has been the site where the head of the Apostle St Andrew, the first of the apostles to be called, was venerated until Paul VI finally returned it to the Greek Orthodox Church. It also contains a number of grave monuments (among others that of Pope Pius II) and impor- tant frescos of Raphael’s student Dominichino. For us, the Schoenstatt Movement, Sant’ Andrea della Valle is particularly important because it was here and in the surrounding area that St Vincent Pallotti worked. In particular, the so-called “Epiphany Octave” took place here. It was a sort of religious week in which the members of various religious communities, laypeople, and representatives of various rites and liturgical traditions met for prayer and celebration, in order to place themselves as the service of the Church’s universal apostolic mission (“Catholic Apostolate”).

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • More About the Focolare Movement
    COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Dossier – May 2018 The Focolare Movement The Focolare Movement owes its origin to the charism of unity that God gave to Chiara Lubich. Its members, people of every age and Vocation, come from different social backgrounds, cultures, ethnic groups and religions. Its Various branches are composed mainly of lay people (adults, families, youth, teenagers, children), but also of men and women religious and bishops. The Beginnings: Chiara Lubich, the young girl from Trent consecrated herself to God on December 7, 1943, when World War II was raging fiercely. Soon after, other young women followed her, and the first “focolare” was born. Spirituality: The rediscovery of God-Love is the first key point of the “spirituality of unity”, the specific Focolare spirituality also known as the “spirituality of communion”. Among other things, it demands the practice of “mutual and constant love that makes unity possible and generates the presence of Jesus in the community” (cf. General Statutes). This gospel-rooted spirituality leads to a lifestyle that helps to build unity and peace. Specific Purpose: The Movement feels called to contribute towards the fulfillment of Jesus’ prayer to the Father: “May they all be one” (Jn 17:21) and its goal is uniVersal brotherhood. To achieve its aim, it follows the path of dialogue open to people and entities of every expression and culture: - it contributes to an even greater unity within the Catholic Church; - it establishes fellowship and liVes the common witness of unity with Christians of other Churches; - it seeks the deepest possible union in God with all believers through the common commitment to liVe “the golden rule”; - it shares the Values that underlie the social commitment of those who do not profess any religious faith and collaborates with them in initiatiVes aimed at the common good; - it participates in Various fields of culture and human realities offering its specific contribution.

  • Comunicato Sulla Nota Della Congregazione Per La Dottrina Della Fede Con Indicazioni Pastorali Per L’Anno Della Fede
    N. 0008 Giovedì 05.01.2012 COMUNICATO SULLA NOTA DELLA CONGREGAZIONE PER LA DOTTRINA DELLA FEDE CON INDICAZIONI PASTORALI PER L’ANNO DELLA FEDE COMUNICATO SULLA NOTA DELLA CONGREGAZIONE PER LA DOTTRINA DELLA FEDE CON INDICAZIONI PASTORALI PER L’ANNO DELLA FEDE ● TESTO IN LINGUA ITALIANA ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA FRANCESE ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA INGLESE ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA TEDESCA ● TRADUZIONE IN LINGUA SPAGNOLA ● TESTO IN LINGUA ITALIANA Con la Lettera apostolica Porta fidei dell’11 ottobre 2011, Benedetto XVI ha indetto un Anno della fede. Esso avrà inizio l’11 ottobre 2012, 50° anniversario dell’apertura del Concilio Vaticano II, e terminerà il 24 novembre 2013, Solennità di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo Re dell’Universo. Con la promulgazione di tale Anno il Santo Padre intende mettere al centro dell’attenzione ecclesiale ciò che, fin dall’inizio del suo Pontificato, gli sta più a cuore: l’incontro con Gesù Cristo e la bellezza della fede in Lui. D’altra parte, la Chiesa è ben consapevole dei problemi che oggi la fede deve affrontare e sente quanto mai attuale la domanda che Gesù stesso ha posto: «Il Figlio dell’uomo, quando tornerà, troverà ancora la fede sulla terra?» (Lc 18, 8). Per questo, «se la fede non riprende vitalità, diventando una profonda convinzione ed una forza reale grazie all’incontro con Gesù Cristo, tutte le altre riforme rimarranno inefficaci» (Discorso per la presentazione degli auguri natalizi alla Curia romana, 22 dicembre 2011). Per incarico di Benedetto XVI, la Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede ha redatto una Nota con indicazioni pastorali per l’Anno della fede.

On September 12, 2006, he delivered an aca- demic lecture in Germany at the University of Regensburg on the theme of faith and reason in Western culture.1 In the context of a discussion on compulsion in religion, Benedict referred to a fourteenth century dia- logue in which the Byzantine Emperor addressed an Islamic scholar: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman such as the command to spread by the 2 sword the faith he preached." Two days later the Organization of the Islamic Conference, represent- ing fifty-seven Islamic states, issued a press statement expressing "regret" for the "derogatory fallacies defaming Islam," and for the "smear cam- paign" that indulged in "character assassination of the prophet Moham- med." 3 In the days that followed, protests, some violent, occurred in Jakarta, Delhi, London and other cities.

However, between a theological anthropology of the person and the social analysis of culture there is another practical dimension of Christian life that has been somewhat ignored. I am referring to the idea and function of parish. Helping parishes to become missionary, that is, to become engines of evangelization is one challenge that the Bishops of North America face.1 Understanding the meaning of Parish and its mission to evangelize deserves focused attention and action for five reasons. First, we often take the idea of parish for granted. In urban areas, the territorial definition of parish has very little or no meaning. People seek the parish and the Sunday Mass time that maximizes their convenience and satisfaction thanks to the car and a dash of the consumerism. Parish allegiance is diminishing.2 What idea of parish is really operative today? What idea should be operative and what should we be doing about it? Second, the Church is a catalyst or at least an arena for the dynamic between culture and the faithful. But is this happening at the parish level? At least one Canadian theologian has argued it is not and that in the future parishes may not be necessary.3 Third, immigration and multiculturalism have radically altered the presuppositions and expectations of what a parish is and how it should function. In the Greater Toronto Area, the Eucharistic Assembly is a wonderful sight to behold because of the variety of multinational faces.
