| The tomb of Msgr. Luigi Giussani in Milan is visited each day by hundreds of people who bring petitions and thanksgivings for favors received, which are recorded by the cause for his beatification. The tombstone reads, "Our Lady, you are the security of our hope." |
"This is the ultimate embrace of the Mystery, against which man–even the most distant, the most perverse or the most obscured, the most in the dark–cannot oppose anything, can make no objection. He can abandon it, but in so doing he abandons himself and his own good. The Mystery as mercy remains the last word even on all the awful possibilities of history.
"For this reason existence expresses itself, as ultimate ideal, in begging. The real protagonist of history is the beggar: Christ who begs for man’s heart, and man’s heart that begs for Christ."
~ Luigi Giussani
