The Art of Loving
by Chiara Lubich
In disarmingly simple down-to-earth language
Chiara Lubich draws her
readers into the very heart of evangelical love and gently
challenges them to start living it. She never tires of repeating
the ideas that shine through each of the texts collected
in this volume. Even to the last, she urged those around
her to spread the Gospel message of unity and peace to all.
The few simple phrases that make up her Art of Loving, drawn
from the
Gospels, disclose the secret of human fulfillment found
in divine love: “Love everyone,” “Be the
first to love.”
Price: 315 pesos

In My Neighbor, God
by Chiara Lubich
The wisdom of this collection is remarkable. It is mystical and practical at the same time. Lubich says, "We can't go to God alone, but we must go to him with our brothers and sisters, since he is the Father of us all." Bill Hartnett's foreword sets up the book beautifully, noting that each aspect of the spirituality of unity insists upon the presence of our neighbor.
The neighbor is never an obstacle between the twosome of me and God but a sacred "archway" through whom I come into God's presence, and through whom God comes to me. Indeed, the neighbor is a necessity if we are to have mutual love, the profound love that is receptive to the grace of unity.

When The Word Becomes Life
by
Chiara Lubich
This book offers readers a glimpse of the
soul of Chiara Lubich, who gave life to a worldwide Movement
of men, women, and children from all walks of life - people
who have come together in living the Gospel. Chiara’s
language is spiritual, at times mystical, but always practical.
These short reflections lead the reader into the very heart
of the Good News, to the discovery of that Light which is
ever ancient, ever new – the Light and beauty that
Chiara discovered shining beneath every word of the Gospel:
Jesus, the Word, the Light for every person who comes into
this world.
Price: 125 pesos

Fr. Rocky Evangelista, a Salesian of Don Bosco, has pointed a very important aspect in educating and forming young people, which is prevention from doing what is bad in order for young people to choose what is good and right. This method is more effective than any other in saving a street-child from drugs and prostitution. In 1993 he founded the Tuloy sa Don Bosco which has already catered to more than 10,000 abandoned street children.

The rising number of teen and youth suicides is a sign that something is deeply wrong in our society. It seems that the adults have “fallen asleep at the wheel,” having lost the courage to affirm and bear witness to the young that life is so much more than immediate gratification, success, power, money, social status…
I am always happy and encouraged when TV presents news of philanthropy, outreach, and meaningful projects for those in need. However, my husband and I are now elderly and our grownup children have families of their own and live far away from us. With the little strength that we have, can we still do something for others?
