Chiara Lubich saw communion as the answer to the inadequacy of “individualistic” economic models, which generate exclusion, inequality, loneliness, sadness, and many other forms of poverty.

Seeing the world from the perspective of the poor, from the victims, implies listening to and embracing the pain of others.
