Budapest 1956-2006 – Another revolution

OK, behind the scenes Rob has been coaching me on how to add in a link using the fancy icons that always scare me.  So in gratitude for his help, and most of all his demonstration of the virtue of hope, here goes.  In 1956, Pius XII reacted with the Hungarian Uprising with a cry for "volunteers of God" who would commit themselves to working for the transformation of society.  For the Focolare Movement this event became the initial seed of the "volunteers of God," people who are commited to living the Gospel's "revolution" in the many dimensions of social and cultural life.  To mark the 50th anniversary this Saturday September 16 over 11,000 people from 92 countries will gather in Budapest for an international event to celebrate and strengthen this commitment.

The event will be transmitted in four languages, Italian, English, Spanish, and Portuguese and can be viewed live on through this link.  And here's the press release.  I hope it works, but if not you can blame Rob.
