Read Time & the Temple with us!
from The Pilgrim Soul Hosted by Sofia, Adrianna, and Giuliana
We're excited to announce our December and January episodes will focus on the theme of Christian vocation, taking inspiration from the book Time & the Temple, by Luigi Giussani, translated by our own Sofi. // You can read an excerpt at the Church Life Journal. And you can purchase a copy of the text from the publisher, Slant Books, or on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Bookshop. // Fr. Giussani reminds us that the vocation of every baptized Christian echoes the calling of the apostles: it is not something that ultimately depends on us, nor does it require particular conditions. Rather, it comes about through the encounter with an exceptional presence within a concrete place and time. In other words: the temple, in time. The method of discernment outlined in these pages has implications for every moment of our lives. Nothing is useless—and everything reveals an ultimate positivity. A new morality arises in those who thus begin to follow God’s method, as it did for Simon Peter when, to Christ’s question, he replied: “Yes, you know that I love you.” Thus all of life becomes the offering of every instant for the glory of Christ, so that he may be recognized as having the capacity to save the present moment.
