All that Matters. Luigi Giussani Flashcards
It does not matter what level of perfection you reach. What others think or don’t think of you, and how much you do does not matter, nor does your judgment of yourself.
All that matters is that mercy has taken you for ever, from the very origin of your existence.
Mercy called you to love,
because mercy loved you.
Holiness means always affirming – before everything else, in everything else -
the embrace of the Father,
the merciful, pitying movement of Christ, His gesture, that is He Himself, independent of everything that stirs and has the appearance of life in us.
We must become more and more aware of God’s covenant with us,
of life as God’s involvement with us
Grace holds fast because God leads me to discover Who He is and to understand that from
my destruction He makes something new bud forth – an identification with Him and the Father
