Chiara Lubich Biographie: Une vie au service de l'unité de la famille humaine....

Chiara Lubich is the founder of the Focolare Movement. She was born in Trent, Italy on 22 January 1920.

Her father and brother were political and opponents of fascism, her mother had a strong Catholic faith. In 1939 during a trip to the shrine of Loreto she felt her first call to her future vocation, when she heard God telling her she would be followed by many.

On her return from Loreto, a priest asked her about her vocation but Chiara was unable to describe what she felt, but knew it wouldn’t be a traditional one: not the convent, notinning of the Focolare Movement.

In the following months Chiara drew many young women to her, some of whom wanted to follow matrimony, not consecration to God in the world.

In 1943, when Chiara was 23, as she was on her way to fetch some milk, Chiara heard the call from God: ‘Give yourself totally to me.’ Following a deep conversation with a priest she obtained permission.

On 7 December 1943 she consecrated her life to God forever.
