Message sent to CL on the occasion of Fr. Giussani death by Cardinal Angelo Sodano
Having learned of the departure of Msgr. Luigi Giussani, I wish to express to you, to your collaborators, and to the entire Movement of Communion and Liberation my lively participation in the mourning for the grave loss of this zealous minister of the altar. Remembering the luminous figure of this wise teacher and generous priest who testified courageously to his faith in Christ, working untiringly for the spread of the evangelical message, especially in the world of the schools, I entrust him to the goodness of the Lord, that He may welcome him into the Kingdom of the blessed, and I invoke bountiful heavenly consolations for those who mourn this illustrious man of the Church.
Cardinal Angelo Sodano,
Vatican Secretary of State
