In Living the Liturgy: A Witness, Father Luigi Giussani (1922-2005) shares his deepest convictions about the nature of the liturgy.

In 1980, two men sit down to record a conversation. They have much in common: both are passionate, articulate thinkers. But their differences are just as striking: Giovanni Testori is a well-known writer-and an openly gay man. Luigi Giussani is a Catholic priest who has attracted so many students with his striking way of re-proposing the Christian message that he''s unwittingly started a movement (which came to be known as Communion and Liberation).Testori, who has recently returned to the Catholic faith, begins with a provocative suggestion: modern people have lost contact with the existential and religious experience of birth, of an origin in love-the love of one''s parents and the love of God. From here, the dialogue ranges widely, taking on the root causes of modern despair and alienation, the link between suffering and hope, the significance of memory, and what it means to encounter the presence of God in one another. Profound but accessible, The Meaning of Birth is a resonant and bracing exploration of life''s most fundamental questions.

The Religious Sense is an exploration of the search for meaning in life. Avoiding sentimental or irrational reduction of the religious experience, Luigi Giussani shows that our ultimate needs for truth, goodness, and beauty constitute the fabric of the religious sense, which is evident in everyone everywhere and in all times.

This volume presents spiritual exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation, drawing from the transcripts of Father Luigi Giussani's addresses. To Give One's Life for the Work of Another explores the nature of God, self-awareness, and the fundamental components of Christianity, in the unmistakable voice of a consummate teacher.

As a young priest, Luigi Giussani was troubled by Catholicism's inability to deal with secularism or laicism. His ideas led to the birth of the Gioventu Studentesca movement. This work is an English translation of "Il Cammino al vero e un'esperienza", Giussani's early works on the Christian experience, written from 1959-64.

How an effective education gives young people the fundamental support of tradition and historical perspective, nurturing their ability to understand and discern.

Monsignor Luigi Giussani (1922-2005) was professor emeritus of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, and the founder of Communion and Liberation. His writings have been translated into over twenty languages. Juli¿Carr¿n is a Spanish Cat
