Keskinäinen rakkaus Chiara Lubichin yhteisöllisen spiritualiteetin perustana

Reciprocal Love as the Foundation for Chiara Lubich’s Theology of Collective Spirituality — Chiara Lubich, one of the most prominent Catholic thinkers of the late 20th century, posits reciprocal love as the foundation for her theology of unity in collective spirituality. Her Spirituality of Unity is followed by a worldwide and cross-denominational Focolare Movement, founded by Lubich in 1943. This article analyses the semantic and literary meanings of love—and especially reciprocal love—in Lubich’s first publication, Tutti uno (1979), where she introduces her theology of spirituality systematically. The article further explores the communitarian effects of reciprocal love, particularly in terms of collective sanctification.
