Meeting: Zuppi visit to the centenary exhibition of Fr Giussani’s birth

Pietro Grasso:

(ANSA) – RIMINI, AUG 21 – Visit by the president of the CEI and Archbishop of Bologna, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi to the exhibition ‘Giussani 100. 1922-2022 centenary of his birth’, opened yesterday at the Rimini Meeting and dedicated to the founder of Communion and Liberation. Before celebrating Mass in the large Auditorium of the Rimini Fair – packed with faithful – the guide of the Italian Bishops spent several minutes in front of the images that tell the life and history of Don Luigi Giussani.

A figure, explained Zuppi in an interview granted to the site ‘ilSussidiario.net’ which is still “a living gift for the Church. It is very much so – he argued -: we are reminded of the many, incalculable realities that CL has generated and generates .

Moreover, it is a gift recognized by the Church in her motherhood. Fr Giussani’s gift is a great adventure “.

An adventure, underlined the president of the CEI, “because every gift of the Spirit is not a program that I carry out, but a passion that I live, not a path that I define, but being led by God’s love where He wants. And God’s love is not repeated, it is renewed. Today – he continued – instead we are tempted to be “compiling” rather than creative and generative; and we are afraid, because we believe more in programs than in God’s love. this encounter with man as he is, which so passionate Giussani, is even more necessary for all of us and for the Church. Many young people need it, so many people who have a desire for beauty, truth, and goodness. they look for those who make them but they don’t know how to give it a Face “.

According to Zuppi, for Communion and Liberation, “the centenary is an excellent opportunity to reflect on the history and gift of Giussani’s charism, which is the charism of the whole movement. All the gifts are entrusted to us to make them bear fruit. It is necessary to get involved to ensure that the charism produces fruits, and to put aside the difficulties and the subjectivity that do not help. The charism is never a repetition, it is always generative, like all things of the Spirit. And it unites: it is a made of communion, you have it in the name “.
