Everyday Miracles

The simplicity and depth of this book are a refreshing surprise. With disarming openness the stories in its pages describe how God behaves in the lives of “ordinary” people. It is a picture always the same, yet always fresh. God cares so much that no detail escapes his concern. The rich tapestry of circumstances, places and characters in this book illustrates the beauty of lives shaped by the Gospel.

These “everyday miracles,” these “little flowers” gathered from everyday events, are experiences of things that have actually happened to Chiara Lubich, the founder of the Focolare Movement, and to members of the Movement throughout the world.

At times they are tiny things that, nevertheless, have something extraordinary within them. They blossom into enchantment and are striking because of the light they contain. The most child-like frankness they display is moving and makes the heart rejoice.

They teach us to see the little things of human existence as part of the weave of a divine tapestry, and so simplify life’s many problems.
