What’s the Focolare Word of Life?
Focolare emphasizes living the Gospel in all of life’s situations. The words of Scripture can become an “instruction manual” for living, or simply “words of life.”
The Focolare Word of Life is a phrase chosen each month and shared around the world that we’re all invited to live by. The accompanying commentary is translated into some 90 different languages and dialects, reaching millions worldwide through print, radio, TV and other media. There are special versions for children and teens as well.
Focolare founder Chiara Lubich and her close friends began to live one phrase from the Gospel at a time. Then they shared their experiences of how it went, helping one another and growing closer along the way. This experience led them to realize that not only can we study the word of God, discuss it, memorize it and pray over it, but most important of all, we can live it and share our experiences of doing so.
Still today there are Word of Life groups where people meet regularly to reflect on the words of the Scripture and share how they put it into practice.
