Universal brotherhood

in these times a short reflection proposed by Chiara Lubich came to mind with e question: Am I really loving everybody?Politicians, friends holding opposite opinions from myself, people I don't like, people I annoy me. quite an exam of conscience!

UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD

Universal brotherhood, universal brotherhood. This is what I have been asked these days. “Let’s work to establish it!” Even this terrorism, I think that this terrorism will be won over by universal brotherhood, because the real root of all this is the division between rich and poor countries. But as I say: goods must circulate a bit, but goods do not walk alone, we must move hearts. So if the Chinese were able to love the Vietnamese etc., little by little we will be able to...

We then have this hope because we have this network all over the world, in 182 countries. In each of these countries the Movement is active like in Rome. Once a month, we are all connected by a worldwide telephone conference call. The way the people respond, how they receive the news, how they respond also through e-mails etc., one can feel the vitality, the presence and the power of the Movement even in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), in Alaska or even in Melbourne (Australia), even in Japan. ... We did not know why we were destined for the whole world, but we are beginning to understand it. Does God perhaps want more unity not only in Europe, but also in the other continents? The network would be already prepared, our network, but then there are many other networks of other Movements, with the showering of other graces. Universal brotherhood.
