\nPresident of Focolare Movement
\n\u201cI was very moved when they announced my name. At the same time, I felt the strength of the Spirit inside me, the Spirit I had been invoking all day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>President of the Focolare Movement
\n\u201cI really hope that in the next six years I will be able to keep Chiara's legacy alive: Be a family, in the true sense of the word, because that is the only way we can achieve our specific goal, which is unity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
