Dare il meglio di sé in ogni incontro con il prossimo Give the best of ourselves to every neighbor we meet "We really need ‘to stop’ and ‘to feel’ what our brother is feeling, ‘to make ourselves one’ to the point of taking upon ourselves his painful burden or live with him his joy… We need this exercise of the heart together with that of the will in order to love God and neighbors, in order to have that real love which we know of. It is love nourished by our knowing ‘how to let go’ – living at constant pruning – of our affection for all things and for all people. In this way our heart is pure, our love for God and neighbor is intense." Chiara Lubich Witness and Irradiation p17

Avere un cuore aperto verso tutti/

Open your heart to everyone

Above all else, we must fix our gaze on the one Father of so many children.  Next, look at all creatures as children of the one Father.  We must extend our thoughts and our hearts’ affection always beyond the bounds imposed by merely human life and develop the habit of constantly reaching out to the universal brotherhood in only one Father: God. . . .  Jesus, our model, taught us just two things, which ultimately are one: to be children of only one Father and brothers and sisters to one another.
