Thank you for taking the time to look through this School of Evangelization Guidebook for the first semester of 2015. Among the many evangelization and renewal offerings already available, you’ll notice a special page devoted toThe Joy of Encountering Christ — The Family’s Hope which is our Evangelization and Renewal Springboard for 2015-2018. What is an Evangelization and Renewal Springboard? It is a four-year effort on the part of the diocesan School of Evangelization and other diocesan offices and agencies to assist parishes, families, and individuals to grow in the knowledge and love of Christ and His Church by providing practical resources and initiatives that will serve as a “springboard” toward enhanced growth in faith. As we begin this endeavor, let us pray for one another. Theodore J. Musco Executive Director, School of Evangelization Pope Saint John Paul II told the world’s youth in Denver, 1993: “This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel. It is time to preach it from the rooftops!” I was present in the stadium with a larger delegation of young people from the Diocese of Brooklyn to hear those words of the Holy Father. What struck me in that moment was that we were hearing from one the history’s great evangelists that being a Catholic means being on mission all the time in order to announce Jesus Christ and his love for us. Saint John Paul II went on to tell us that August day in Denver never to be afraid, but rather “to break out of comfortable and routine modes of living in order to take up the challenges of mak- ing Christ known.” The work of the School of Evangelization, led by competent and faithful lay evangelizers, is dedicated to developing creative programs and sponsoring events that enable Catholics and others in our community to encounter Jesus Christ and his “gospel of joy.” The rich variety of offerings attest to the springtime of faith that is being felt throughout the world, from Rome to Brooklyn. May it be a rewarding spiritual harvest for all of us as well.

If we seek to revitalize our Church, to bring new life to our mission to teach and preach the Gospel, and bring others to greater faith, then we must ask some serious questions of ourselves. What does it really mean to me to seek new life and vigor in Christ? What is really being asked of me? What attitudes must I change in my life before I can become an effective agent of evangelization in my family, parish, and neighborhood? Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Ph.D., D.D.

Luigi Giussani is well-known as the founder of Communion and Liberation and the author of numerous books, including The Religious Sense. But what is less understood about him is how he broke through the conventional opposition between liberalism and traditionalism, and proposed Christianity in a way that answers the challenges of modernity to the Christian faith.

Richard Veras for the first of our annual series on the life and thought of Luigi Giussani, founder of the ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation. Tonight’s gathering is an occasion to delve more deeply into the contents of a fundamental concept of Christianity: the “encounter,” as understood and taught by Fr. Giussani. Born in 1922 in Desio, Italy, Giussani described his childhood as “poor in bread but rich in music.” He began the path of his priestly vocation at the tender age of 10, and those formative years were filled with encounters that marked his life.

  • MY HEART IS GLAD BECAUSE YOU LIVE, OH CHRIST Spiritual Exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation Rimini, April 28, 2017
    MY HEART IS GLAD BECAUSE YOU LIVE, OH CHRIST Spiritual Exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation Rimini, April 28, 2017 Notes from the Introduction by Julián Carrón “Let not your prayer be a mechanical exercise,” Fr. Giussani told us. Therefore, “let us elevate our awareness, let us reawaken our responsibility! […] The whole world is as if under this leaden pall that is the forgetfulness of the reason one wakes up in the morning, takes things up again, takes oneself in hand again. The impact that all things have on the human person is to say: ‘Wake up […]’. […] My God, how this redemption of every morning should be! But instead, an oppressive forgetfulness is what normally disqualifies our days from the beginning, even if they are then full of activity. […] When we gather together, we do so to look again toward the light […] [to shake off this forgetfulness, to] not allow the person near us to cry, alone and without a horizon. […] In this way, in this moment, our head can emerge from the normal fog that usually covers it: we re-gain awareness, resume our responsibility for ourselves and for things, for love of ourselves and for love of the sun, for love of ourselves and for love of people. […] It is up to us that this companionship be awake in the world and subsist, this possibility of companionship that abolishes the isolation between me and you, between one person and another person, and enables things to be useful, enables time to be useful.”1 Let us ask with all the awareness of which we are capable.

  • LETTER of JOHN PAUL II to MSGR. LUIGI GIUSSANI on the OCCASION of the 50Th ANNIVERSARY of the MOVEMENT "COMMUNION and LIBERATION"
    The Holy See LETTER OF JOHN PAUL II TO MSGR. LUIGI GIUSSANI ON THE OCCASION OF THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOVEMENT "COMMUNION AND LIBERATION" To Rev. Mons. Luigi Giussani, Founder of the Movement "Communion and Liberation" 1. It will be 50 years in October since you stopped lecturing at the theological faculty of the Seminary at Venegono and began to teach religion in Milan at Berchet Secondary School. This was how you came to set out on the way to an ecclesial association that was subsequently to become the Movement, and later, also the Fraternity of "Communion and Liberation". I gladly join you in the surge of gratitude to God, the Giver of every good thing, that wells up in your priestly heart and in the hearts of the Movement's members on this anniversary. In this half century, divine Providence has brought to life an institution which, spreading rapidly in Italy and throughout the world, has yielded an abundant harvest of good for the Church and for society. Today the Movement exists in 70 countries and offers a faith experience that can take root in the most varied cultures; it is an experience that profoundly changes people's lives since it impels them to a personal encounter with Christ. "Communion and Liberation" is a Movement that together with a whole range of other associations and new communities can rightly be considered one of the new shoots of the promising "springtime" inspired by the Holy Spirit in these past 50 years. This half century has been distinguished by a harsh clash with the dominant ideologies in a crisis of utopian projects, and more recently, by a widespread tendency to relativism, scepticism and nihilism that risks dampening the hopes and aspirations of the new generations.
