Yesterday, January 3, Rai 1 broadcasted in prime time slot the TV movie Chiara Lubich - L'Amore vince tutto produced by Rai Fiction with Eliseo Multimedia and Trentino Film Commission. Starring Cristiana Capotondi in the main role, it won its time slot with very big results - 5.641.000 viewers and an audience share of 23%. Directed by Giacomo Campiotti, written by Francesco Arlanch, Luisa Cotta Ramosino and Lea Tafuri.

When she consecrated her life to God on December 7, 1943, the young teacher, Silvia Lubich never imagined that a few decades later, four popes would speak so highly of her and her spiritual family.

She didn’t have any idea what she would see and experience in her 88 years of life here on earth. She didn’t have any idea that she would have millions of followers. She never imagine that she and her friends would reach 182 countries.

Could she ever have thought that she would inaugurate a new season of communion in the Church and open channels of ecumenical dialogue that had never been seen before? Much less could she have imagined that her spiritual family would include the faithful of other religions and people without any religious affiliation. Chiara never thought about starting a movement.
