Intrepid will to make the world more human
Essential points for the formation of a Christian personality
We offer this passage from Luigi Giussani's book, Alla ricerca del volto umano [Seeking the Human Face] (Rizzoli 1995, pp 128-138), because it describes perfectly the characteristics of a mature Christian life and the results this can give for the life of the world.
