A companionship for life
The Resurrection is not a theatrical coup; it is a silent transformation that fills every human gesture with meaning. In the Pasch of Christ, everything can become grace. Even the most ordinary things: eating, working, waiting, taking care of the house, supporting a friend. The Resurrection does not remove life from time and effort, but changes its meaning and “flavour”.

Pope Leo XIV


There is an instrument, a means, a locus for coming to know the Mystery who makes all things, the Father–it is Christ. And there is a locus for coming to know Christ–this Christ who died and rose again, who is happening in the world. There is a locus, an instrument, in which this victorious Christ can be recognized, perceived, and experienced as a companionship that gives substance to life, as a presence that is–as He said to the Samaritan woman–an inexhaustible source of hope: our communion, our vocational companionship.

Luigi Giussani
