Mary –
It is wonderful to see this book ‘Words of Life’ translated into English from the original book in Italian, called Parole di Vita by Fabio Ciardi, OMI as it is the compilation of the Gospel words which Chiara Lubich, founder of the Work of Mary (Focolare Movement), tried to live throughout her life. It is a wonderful meditative book which helps one to know how to live the Gospel in one’s daily life. A must read for all who area aiming at truly living what Jesus Himself gave us to live.
