"Her heritage wrote the Pope – is now handed down to her spiritual family: let the Virgin Mary, a constant model of reference for Chiara, help every Focolarino and Focolarina to go on in the same path, so that, as beloved John Paul II wrote after the Great Jubilee in the year 2000, the Church may become a home and school of communion to a higher and higher extent. Let the God of hope welcome the soul of this sister of ours. Let Him console and support the commitments of those who pick up her spiritual heritage. For this reason, I particularly entrust her memory to prayer, and send the Apostolic Benediction to all the people who are present at the holy rite". ” “
