NENNOLINA/ WHEN LOVE EXCEEDS THE PAIN

Author: Piersandro Vanzan
Publisher: AVE 2004

The disconcerting biography of a special little girl, whose heroic virtues Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed. Because holiness - that is, the ability to make God visible in one's life - like love, has no age.

A precious biographical book on Antonietta Meo, Nennolina, of unique importance because it helps to know intimately the "great things" that God has done in her.

Vanzan, postulator of the cause of beatification of the little girl, retraces the stages of her life: the normal flow of childhood, the enrollment in the Female Youth of Catholic Action, the discovery of the disease and her ordeal of pain, the wonder of the First Communion ; finally the relapse into illness always lived in the company of the Lord: "Jesus, let us suffer together" until his death in 1937 at just 7 years old.

A story that is certainly not easy but which leaves the reader with the impression of having encountered a masterpiece by Grazia.
