'We have discovered through other people who God really is. He has the answer to the yearning of the heart. Everyone, from any place or circumstance, feels that yearning and feels that truth when it touches their heart. This is our experience.'
ALBERTO SAVORANA
Communion and Liberation Spokesperson ;
'I think the message is still relevant: Christ is the answer for those who ask questions, anyone who seeks understanding of humanity.'
Alberto Savorana has written the seminal biography of Luigi Giussani, the Italian priest who founded Communion and Liberation. The book will soon be translated into Spanish and English.
ALBERTO SAVORANA
Spokesperson for Communion and Liberation
'To Luigi Giussani, Christ is the answer to the demands that are stirred in the hearts of men. This discovery changed his life and made him passionate that testimony to Christ is the answer to the needs of each person.'
Sixty years after its founding, Luigi Giussani's proposal is still delighting thousands of people, most of them lay, in more than 90 countries.
It is not a different doctrine, but it encourages people to live the faith in a conscious way. It promotes a personal friendship with God, rather than a list of rules. ;
