Reflections on a Feeling that Can Last
Love exists and resists beyond the contingency of a couple’s stories: this is the thesis proposed in the book. Chapter after chapter, Fr. Riccardo Mensuali reviews closely the anthropological and religious reasons confirming his thesis. A very “tasty” pamphlet that ranges from the history of Homo sapiens to Traviata, from the Gospel to John Updike to prove that love is necessary for humanity and that only a lasting love can save it. A contemporary tool not to surrender to the fragmentation of emotional life and the liquidity of human ties.
DON RICCARDO MENSUALI (Florence, 1966) was ordained priest in 1994. He is a member of the Priestly Missionary Fraternity of Sant’Egidio. From 2012 to 2016 he has worked at the Pontifical Council for the Family and since then at the Pontifical Academy for Life in Rome.
