“If we want to feel ourselves immediately filled with richness in our thoughts, we must always start from this great, primordial truth: that we did not exist and now we do.”

— Luigi Giussani: “Hospitality: The Great Primordial Truth”

«Il Natale è un Mistero perché l’essenziale è invisibile agli occhi»

«Il Natale è un Mistero perché l’essenziale è invisibile agli occhi»

Don Nicola Bux, teologo, già collaboratore di Benedetto XVI, dice al Timone: «Si torni alla fede forte dei primi cristiani». (more…)

We need a total response that comprehends and saves the entire horizon of the self and our existence. We possess within us a yearning for the infinite, an infinite sadness, a nostalgia – the nostos algos (home sickness) of Odysseus – which is satisfied only by an equally infinite response.

The human heart proves to be the sign of a Mystery, that is, of something or someone who is an infinite response. Outside the Mystery, the needs for happiness, love, and justice never meet a response that fully satisfies the human heart. Life would be an absurd desire if this response did not exist.

Not only does the human heart present itself as a sign, but so does all of reality. The sign is something concrete, it points in a direction, it indicates something that can be seen, that reveals a meaning, that can be experienced, but that refers to another reality that cannot be seen; otherwise, the sign would be meaningless.

On the other hand, to interrogate oneself in the face of these signs, one needs an extremely human capacity, the first one we have as men and women: wonder, the capacity to be amazed, as Giussani calls it, in the last analysis, a child’s heart. The beginning of every philosophy is wonder, and only wonder leads to knowledge…

If wonder opens me up as a question, the only response is the encounter, and only with the encounter is my thirst quenched. And with nothing else is it quenched more.

— Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis), 1998

"Se tu sei disponibile alla verità, cioè se desideri la verità, se tu hai il cuore buono, quanto più la realtà si mostra a te nella diversità in cui si concreta, tanto più tu ti senti spinto dentro di essa, te ne arricchisci, ne sei contento, non hai mai finito di guardare dentro: il Mistero non è un muro che terma lo sguardo, ma è come un'apertura dentro la quale non hai mai finito di entrare".

Luigi Giussani, da "Spirto gentil"

«From the very beginning, we have faced this challenge, which has allowed no one to remain indifferent, with a working hypothesis expressed in a line by Fr. Giussani: "If an individual were to barely live the impact with reality, because, for example, he had not had to struggle, he would scarcely possess a sense of his own consciousness, would be less aware of his reason's energy and vibration." Thus, following Giussani, we are invited to "live always the real intensely," without negating or precluding anything. In fact, it is one thing to be unable to ignore or avoid the impact with the circumstance, but it is entirely another thing to live it, embracing the provocation it bears.»

— Julián Carrón

«Qual è l’unica risposta all’omologazione? Fare la rivoluzione. Non è un concetto mio, è un concetto di Gesù, è la prima parola detta da Gesù: “Cambiate mentalità”, cambiate modo di giudicare, di vedere, di sentire, di gustare, di amare, di fare le cose […] come un fiume straripante che nessuno potrà mai fermare – e noi siamo la dimostrazione, dopo duemila anni, che nessuno lo può fermare. […] Un uomo “è”, se “cambia”. Se non è capace di cambiare non è un uomo: è una cosa».

"Christian tradition sweeps away the notion of the useless person, of time without meaning, of the purely banal act. In the Christian perspective, each one of a person's actions is for the whole world. Each act assumes a cosmic dignity . . . from washing dishes to guiding the Church, from caring for a child to governing a country. In this perspective, the person is free from circumstance. Chance does not determine her value. She can be great, she can journey to perfection, even under the worst or the most humble of conditions." ~ Luigi Giussani, Why the Church? (p39). [The Kitchen, 1858 - James McNeill Whistler]

• James McNeill Whistler participated in the artistic ferment of Paris and London in the late nineteenth century, crafted a distinctive style from diverse sources, and arrived at a version of Post-Impressionism in the mid-1860s, a time when most of his contemporaries in the avant-garde were still exploring Realism and Impressionism.
