In her most recent book Chiara Lubich introduces the "collective spirituality" at the core of the Focolare Movement, of which she is founder and president. Through this collective or communitarian living we go to God together. In the past, Lubich writes, the idea of going to God as individuals was common (witness the desert fathers and mothers), but times have changed. "The Holy Spirit is now forcefully calling men and women to walk side by side with other people, indeed to be one heart and one soul with all those who so desire."

Lubich goes on to describe the differences between individual and collective spirituality, then turns to the "aspects" of Focolare Movement or Work of Mary. "Each of us must aim at being another Jesus as soon as possible," Lubich proclaims. Recognizing that the ways to unity with Jesus and others are many and varied, Focolare has enumerated seven main points about love. It is communion, radiates, uplifts, heals, creates a home, generates wisdom, and unites. The author devotes an entire chapter to each of these points, providing a comprehensive description of life in Focolare and rich examples for others to embrace.
