A beleza musical e o sentido religioso do homem, um contributo de Luigi Giussani

Abstract

Monsignor Luigi Giussani (1922-2005), all his life, sought an absolute encounter with Him who made our hearts and Him who calls us to love, happiness, truth, and beauty. Thus, the author points to the Mystery of God which is also the mystery of the world and the mystery of Man. In his personal inmost, Man brings a religious sense as a curiosity about the Mystery and desire for eternity. Giussani strives to offer a method that allows the Man to fulfil these yearnings and foresees that contact with reality might be the efficient means, particularly in the case of beauty and music. Through his passion for music and its religious sense, the author shows how, through affinity and resemblance, it may be a gateway to the Mystery of God and the beauty of the Word in Jesus Christ incarnate.
