Specific Trials of a Communitarian Spirituality. Reflection in the Light of the Experience of the Focolare Movement

Abstract

Contemporary life of the Church, against the background of dynamic cultural changes of the surrounding society, is marked by an urgent call to discover and value the community dimension, to the mysticism of living together. In view of the spread of spirituality of communion, a question arises about the corresponding asceticism, about the specific forms of purification and spiritual trials that it may encounter. From this perspective, we read the experience of the Focolare Movement, referring primarily to the writings of its founder, Chiara Lubich. The reflection revolves around two basic concepts that relate to the mystical and ascetic dimensions: unity – Jesus forsaken.

Keywords:

Chiara Lubich, communitarian spirituality, Jesus forsaken, unity
