Advertise on podcast: The Unity Rosary

Description

The Unity Rosary is inspired by the charism of the Focolare Movement, a Lay Ecclesial Movement that strives to live unity and work for the fulfillment of Jesus’ prayer that “all may be one”. The Focolare is about living and fostering unity, respects and values diversity, and focuses on dialogue as a way of building bridges and relationships. Chiara Lubich, foundress of the Focolare Movement, refers to the Rosary as “a summary of the entire Gospel. By praying it and thinking about each mystery, one can relive the whole life of Jesus, accompanied by Mary.” Each mystery of The Unity Rosary is introduced by a short reflection rooted in the spirituality of unity.
