Greetings from the International EoC Commission
Dear friends of the EoC around the world,
During this Easter season, while there is so much anguish, suffering, and death in the world around us, a beautiful statement by Luigino Bruni in his commentary on the Psalms (L'anima e la cetra, p. 23) comes to mind:
«Resurrection, before being a truth of the Christian faith, is a fundamental anthropological experience. It is part of the human repertoire, it is an exercise that men and women know how to do, it is an essential gesture. Homo sapiens is an animal capable of resurrection».
It is an invitation to continue to rise up every day, always believing that resurrection will come, even for our crazy economy, even for our broken world, even when hope itself seems to tremble. It is up to us to keep this wonderful capacity alive.
And to support us together in hope, we propose some dates to mark in your calendars:
- Our next Global Gathering online, on May 24, 2025, live from the EoC Italy Convention at the Polo Lionello Bonfanti in Loppiano (Italy).
- An international school for young people, from July 20 to 26, 2025, at Mariapoli Ginetta in Brazil, an opportunity not to be missed!
And further ahead, two major events for everyone, to be added to your calendar:
- The global event of Economy of Francesco from November 28 to 30, 2025 in Castel Gandolfo (Rome, Italy), “Restarting the economy,” for all young people but also for all entrepreneurs who want to contribute with them to changing the economy.
- A major global event from May 24 to 30, 2026, for the 35th anniversary of the Economy of Communion, with an original format that we will reveal shortly. We look forward to seeing you at the next Global Gathering to discover the destination and the project!
In the meantime, we hope to continue to rise and bring our earth back to life every day. Happy Easter!
The EoC International Commission
