XXV Per annum: I meriti e l’amore

In brief

Marcello Matté writes in SettimanaNews that the terms Eucharist and charisma derive from a word meaning benevolence, a free gift, or a joyful present.

Matté compares the satisfaction of receiving a university degree after hard work to the joy of receiving a flower from a loved one. He explains that such a gift creates a unique emotion because it serves as a sign that someone cares for a person. The article uses these comparisons to introduce how criteria enter into a relationship with the Lord.
