In order to celebrate the first half century of our story, we had the idea of publishing some of Fr. Lombardi's spiritual writings, in order to foster a deeper appreciation of the inner person of this man - Jesuit priest - founder of the Movement for a Better World and its Promoting Group.
This small volume allows us an insight into the spirituality that was the source and origin of his mission.
"The final goal towards which human history is moving is a communitarian reality that we have to form all together."
"To want the reign of God in humanity, humanity transformed in the reign of God, means making every effort to build up in the Spirit a universal society, with new relationships and new structures, in which all can live together in harmony".
"Persons need a generous resolve to commit themselves with all their strength to the “creation of a better world according to the heart of God”, to a renewal that, starting from the Church, would necessarily imply a general improvement of the world, the Reign of God. They need determination to take part in the enterprise at our moment of history. Each one must feel his/her responsibility vis-à-vis the whole human family, in his/her own time, in the whole of history, in eternity".
