Mppu Charter
A Policy for Unity
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of MPPU, an international seminar was held from the 23rd to 26th of June 2016 during which the formal adherence to the Charter took place. It was drawn up after a participatory process, which collects and updates the indications written by Chiara Lubich in 1962 for the St. Catherine Centre and those delivered to MPPU in over 10 years.
After twenty years of commitment to both the ideas and practice on a worldwide level, here is the Chart. It follows the points gradually noted below, drawing on the political culture based on the ideal of unity and the first steps of those who have made history so far.
The Charter consists of two parts:
- commitment towards a politics for unity
- transparency of the essential service structures that are the Mppu Centres

Politics for Unity
Unity is the one word that can define Chiara Lubich’s charism: unity, which translates into practical and unconditional love for other people. Unity, which means consideration for everyone – including our “enemy”, and a commitment to meaningful two-way dialogue on all fronts. It contributes towards a more united world, one enriched by diversity and open to the common good.
It is clear from Chiara Lubich’s writings and actions that the political implications of this vision of universal fraternity have been present from the start. Early on, she wrote: “One day, the peoples of the earth may learn to set aside the idea they have of themselves and of their own country … recognizing that God asks for reciprocal love among States, just as he asks for reciprocal love among brothers and sisters. That day will mark the start of a new era” (Città Nuova, 30.8.59)
