The Proposal: It's a Life!

The History of Communion and Liberation in Msgr. Giussani's own words:  It's a Life

1982 The Pope at the Meeting

      "The miracle of change in those who believe in Christ is the greatest witness   of the truth of his presence. A community of persons who live in this way constitutes the dawning of the new world, the beginning of true humanity.  So a community must generate works in which the ultimate value is witness.  The Pope reminded us of this in his address at the Meeting when he defined the Church’s aim as “building a civilization of truth and love.”  But isn’t the Church’s aim to give glory to Christ? It’s exactly the same thing. Christ’s glory is man’s salvation. This witness is obtained through faith that generates a piece of changed humanity that, as we have already said, makes people ask themselves the motive and ultimate reason for it. This must also be the value of works." --Don Gius
