"The Christian -- the wayfaring man, to use that beautiful expression of mediaeval Christianity -- is conscious of the fact that life is a journey, a travelling towards a goal, where at the end of all problems lies the total solution - not our work, but God's. We are powerless in the face of our unquenchable thirsting for our destiny and our goal, and only the power of God can make us whole. But the search for ever greater completeness, the search for the best, -- as far as is possible -- characterizes a Christian's greatness at every moment; and this, at every moment, is the characteristic of the Church's invitation to us, and with it is the measure of our being Christian. It is a boundless commitment, without end."-Monsignor Luigi Giussani (1922 - 2005)
Giussani is the founder of the international lay Catholic movement Communion and Liberation.
