It was a great blessing when July 10 was the next available interment schedule for our sister, Teresa Lucas, who died of pancreatic cancer. We're in grief but extremely comforted by the outpouring of love & spiritual support from our big Focolare family far & near. This virtual Mariapolis is such a fitting epilogue to Teresa's burial. It's such an uplifting experience to be with all of you at this moment. We really feel we're not alone in our anguish of losing our beloved sister. https://padlet.com/natcat2005/Impressions/wish/652376089 2020-07-11 18:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/natcat2005/Impressions/wish/652376089 https://padlet.com/natcat2005/Impressions/wish/652376723 This was an amazing first day, Mariapolis.

The true to life experiences of the songs are tremendously powerful and good enough to soften the hearts of the people.

Uno,
Maria and Carol Tan]]> 2020-07-11 19:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/natcat2005/Impressions/wish/652383644 Relevant program for the times we are in. https://padlet.com/natcat2005/Impressions/wish/652384182 Today's two-hour Mariapolis was packed with so much love. 

The talks and experiences were very timely and reflects the current situation of our society: the problems AND the solutions that each individual/family try to do within their immediate community.

Gen Verde is always incredible. Their music and performances resonate even more because of the life that animates their art.

The "Youth Hour" was very inspiring and uplifting. It is good to know that the future of Chiara's Ideal is in the capable hands of our young people. 

And Chiara's message is timeless. 

Thank you to everyone who put this program together. Shout out to the technical team and all those behind-the-scenes who put so much love in preparing the Mariapolis. 
Grazie!

- It would help us focus better if the virtual background of panelists do not keep switching.

Inspiring day as well...
Focolare movement is truly a champion of unity and love. Breaking down boundaries through inter religious dialogue. Inclusive regardless of faith as we are all children of God. 
Zoom Webinar is an excellent tool and eliminates physical and time boundaries in spreading the good news through the Focolare Movement with ease in inviting friends and families and introducing them to the Focolare movement.
I hope you can make it possible to schedule this often like every quarter.
Kudos to the Mariapolis organizing team. God Bless.

Tessa (BC)]]> 2020-07-12 22:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/natcat2005/Impressions/wish/652775847 Inspiring Virtual Mariapolis - I've attended the 2 days of this Virtual Mariapolis and I never thought this would be as wonderful as the "in-person" version. But as they say, "God cannot be outdone in his generosity". And so I thank God and I am so grateful with this grace of this virtual Mariapolis. So beautiful, so inspiring! As one of the Gen Rosso song lyrics says (Dove Tu Sei"): Jesus must have passed his time with us - because even the supposed "desert of a virtual meeting" bloomed! - Uno!

Listening to each of the experiences shared on Intereligious Dialogue was enriching. It was a great idea to share excerpts from the different Collegamento CH. Thank you for inviting Gen Rosso. Among the many beautiful experienecs, I was very happy to hear the experience of Alex and Eva because from the Philippines, I have been praying very much for the full recovery of Alex. I entrusted him to Mary, Our Lady Undoer of Knots. And listening to his experience today was a tangible proof that prayer is powerful! God listens to all our prayers! Thanks to Chiara and the precious gift of the Ideal! We woke up before 4:00am to be with you all and it sure was worth it!!!! - UNO!

The experiences were very strong. We have to go ahead strengthen with the Carism of Unity and build up the world around us with love. The youth were stars of day 1.
