The Focolare Movement is a Gospel-based ecclesial movement of spiritual and social renewal, which aims at spreading the message of unity worldwide. Inspired by Jesus’ prayer to the Father, “May they all be one” (Jn 17:21), its goal is to promote brotherhood and to achieve a more united world. This is the story of how everything began: an extraordinary story of young people with a strong belief in God's love. The story begins during the Second World War and it is told by its principal protagonist: Chiara Lubich, the foundress of the Focolare Movement.

Suffering can strike anyone at any time - the death of a loved one, the loss of a job. No one would suggest that you should seek out suffering. And, no one would say that you should love suffering. In fact, suffering is not a being and, therefore, cannot be loved. But, these five insights about suffering will help you consider the value of suffering in a new light. Gerardine Guadagno shares stories of people who have lived through (or are still experiencing) suffering. She offers their examples of how to take a spiritual reality and put it into practice in a transformative way.
