Matisse, The Fall of Icarus

"That nature that plugs desire great things is the heart." It 'was the title / theme of the Meeting of Rimini last year. After the event, as always happens, the network of friendship and companionship, which determines the event itself, have continued to stretch, simply, from person to person, no projects, no strategies. So, you really do not communicate as a doctrine, but as human experience fascinating, corresponding to its heart, its constituent needs of beauty and happiness, making human life, making it, that is, more beautiful, more interesting. From Rimini to Cairo in recent weeks, the Meeting was held in Egypt, for the spread of human passion with some Egyptian friends. A look of truth, an attraction, a meeting. Years ago, the "religious sense", the fundamental text of Fr Giussani had found the interest and attention of Arab intellectuals, especially regarding the concept of reason. Thus, in absolute simplicity, un'interlocuzione began by initiating a fruitful dialogue, almost writing - in the history of human thought - a new page of the comparison between the genius the thought of S. Thomas and the Arab writers, first Averroes, translators and interpreters of Aristotle's thought. If, then, the urgency was to defend the "singularity" of the human person against the reduction of reason to single intellect, today, in the bend of history, the primary task is to defend the possibility of a peaceful human coexistence, finding the light reason, the "fundamentals" of the person and society. The charisma that we met there is a remarkable insight: The rationality is the correspondence of a fact / event needs constitutive of the human heart. Rationality as a match is Giussanian whole idea, which illuminates, with special light, the fascinating adventure of the human heart. We are certain that along this border is possible to find men, peoples and cultures in the wellspring of human experience common to all. Thus, even before the latest "massacre" of Christians in Alexandria, documentation of the most tragic history of persecution, we are invincible in the hope that future builders from a certainty that this new life, even in the shadows of history. This new life renews and strengthens the institutions of society.
