Chiara’s answers:   [attachment 1 ]

 “Chiara, when did you understand that living like Jesus was the best thing you could do?” ( Riva del Garda (Italy), January 3, 1995, Chiara’s answer to the Gen 4: question n. 1.)  

 “Chiara, could you tell us about an adventure in your life?” ( Castel Gandolfo (Italy), June 18, 1988, Chiara to the Gen 4 Congress: answer n. 1 )

 “Why did you decide to give your whole life to Jesus?” (Frontignano, Italy, March 11, 1995, Chiara to the community: question n. 1.)

Ciao, Chiara. My name is Stephan. "How did you give yourself to God?" Mario from Colombia asks you this question: (Castel Gandolfo (Italy), April 28, 1992, Chiara to the Gen 4 Congress: question n. 4)

Sacred Scripture:

To go more in depth, drawing on texts from the Bible, we can understand the 'gaze' of Jesus who looked at, loved and called very different people. And Jesus' gaze, for those who receive it, changes their heart!

Those who respond to his call become protagonists!  Some examples that can help us discover together that Jesus calls many people...and he also calls us!

Episodes:

- Jesus calls the twelve apostles: Even today, Jesus is calling and we can follow him! [attachment 2 ]

- The story of Zaccheus: Jesus’ love for us makes us capable of loving [attachment 3]
