Father Luigi Giussani: 4th anniversary of reposing in the Lord

| | Comments (0)

Christ and the Church: here is the synthesis of Monsignor Giussani's life and of his apostolate. Without ever separating one from the other, he communicated around him a true love for the Lord and for the various Popes that he knew personally. He also had a great attachment for his Diocese and for his Pastors.

May Father Giussani's memory be eternal!

 

Father Giussani really wanted not to have his life for himself, but he gave life, and exactly in this way found life not only for himself, but for many others. He practised what we heard in the Gospel: he did not want to be served but to served, he was a faithful servant of the Gospel, he gave out all the wealth of his heart, he gave out all the divine wealth of the Gospel, with which he was penetrated and, serving in this way, giving his life, this life of his gave rich fruit--as we see in this moment--he has become really father of many and, having led people not to himself, but to Christ, he really won hearts, he has helped to make the world better and to open the world's doors for heaven.
Pope Benedict XVI
