Finished reading: In Search of the Human Face by Luigi Giussani đź“š
Splendid. I haven’t read a devotional-type book like this in quite a while. And never one so thoroughly quotable.
This [unbearableness due to the clamor of our weakness] is a great occasion for love, a great occasion for a loving affirmation.
The truth about our humanity cannot be reduced to the observation of its misery but to the wondrous and exalting announcement that this misery is loved. This loving, strong, and faithful presence, more than the fickle and vulnerable fragility that is the substance of humanity when left to itself, is our true richness.
Hopefully I’ll follow up with a few more, and perhaps a larger sample of quotes.
