Chiara Lubich. From Trent to the world
February 25-26, 2010
Sala della Cooperazione
via Segantini 10, Trento
 To mark the second anniversary of Chiara Lubich’s death, three Departments of the University of Trent (her birthplace) have decided to promote an international conference that is aimed at exploring her life and her theological, economic, and educational vision from a strictly academic point of view.
As a global personality of exceptional charisma, Chiara Lubich’s social and cultural roots in the Trentine region deserve to be explored in their historical entirety. The main goal is to shed light on the evolution of Lubich’s thought, especially at the beginning of her activities, and on the deep impact she had internationally, the civic and religious conviventia, as well as on the inter-religious dialogue.

Commetary on the Word of Life:
I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture (Jn 10:9).
Those who were listening to Jesus were familiar with the image of the gateway, from the dream of Jacob (“This is the gateway to heaven,” Gen 28:17) to God’s beloved Jerusalem with its ancient portals. (See Psalm 24:7)
Psalm 118:20 reads: “This gate is the Lord’s; the just shall enter it.” Jesus makes it his own, and fills it with new meaning. He is the gate to salvation, who leads us to pastures where divine goods are freely given. He is the one and only mediator and through him men and women can go to the Father. “He is the door to the Father,” says Ignatius of Antioch, “through whom have entered Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the prophets, the apostles and the Church.” (Phila IX, 1). |

Every year the Day for Peace is celebrated on 1 January. We're publishing some notes that Chiara prepared on this topic in answering two questions asked by the young people of the Buddhist Movement Rissho Kosei-kai.

Peace is an effect of unity.
When there is unity between God and the human person, we have inner peace. When there is unity among brothers and sisters, there is peace among brothers and sisters. When there is unity among peoples, there is peace in the world.
