Father Luigi Giussani engaged tirelessly in educational initiatives
throughout the course of his life. Much of his thought was
communicated through the richness and rhythm of oral discourse,
preserved as audio and video recordings in the archive of the
Fraternity of Communion and Liberation in Milan. This volume presents
the last three spiritual exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and
Liberation, drawing from the transcripts of these recordings. In these
exercises Giussani investigates the rise of ethics and the decline of
ontology that have accompanied modernity and the spread of
rationalism. Bearing up against old age and illness, he resisted the
urge to withdraw, instead finding new avenues of communication and the
technological means to reach all corners of the movement. To Give
One’s Life for the Work of Another explores the nature of God, the
powerful human experience of self-awareness, and the fundamental
components of Christianity, in the unmistakable voice of a consummate
teacher. At a time when young people are abandoning the church and
questioning the value of faith, Father Giussani’s method of judging
and verifying Christianity as an experience is a timeless
intervention.
