Lighting up life, a journey of hope

7 Feb 2025 | In evidence, Spirituality, Theotokos

The residential course ‘Drops of Spirituality’ is starting again in Loppiano. It was created for those who wish to discover and deepen their experience of the charism of unity. From Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 April 2025, it offers the chance to live the Easter Triduum in depth, discovering the virtue of hope in this Jubilee Year.

We will experience the most important days of Holy Week together, letting ourselves be led by the spirituality of unity: we will deepen our experience of forgiveness and of being forgiven; we will walk the path of the Passion together, looking beyond pain, wounds and darkness; we will experience hope and the expectation of light, rediscovering the joy of the Resurrection.

‘Accendere la vita, un cammino di speranza’ (Lighting up life, a journey of hope) is an opportunity to experience the days of Holy Week in the little town of Loppiano and in particular, in the Maria Theotokos Shrine, a Jubilee church, a place of pilgrimage, where it will also be possible to receive a plenary indulgence.

What is ‘Drops of Spiritality’?

It is a residential programme for those who wish to discover and deepen their experience of the spirituality of unity. Each time, it is possible to have a different experience, complete in itself, immersed in the welcoming vitality of the little town of Loppiano, with its young people, families and artists. Through moments of meditation, sharing and personal experiences, participants will be able to discover, drop by drop, the charisma of Chiara Lubich and the Focolare Movement.
