The volume traces the extraordinary biographical parable of Carlo Carretto, who in the different seasons of life - from the years of his formation to his commitment to Catholic Action, from the experience of the desert to the foundation of the brotherhood of the little brothers of Charles de Foucauld, in Spello - was, above all, a « in love with God." It is a true love story, reconstructed through the common thread of an intense narrative, which brings to life a living memory of this figure, on the centenary of his birth. A large space is dedicated to the period of presidency of the Italian Youth of Catholic Action (Giac), at the end of which Carretto writes that he "really loved the association as one loves a lover". And to adequately probe and understand this relationship, Carlo Carretto. The journey of a "lover of God" presents, for the first time, a large anthology of his writings which appeared in the association press.
The text was recognized as being of significant cultural interest and created with the contribution of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities.
«Let's not say that today it is more difficult;
it's different. Let's learn rather
by the saints who have gone before us
and they faced the difficulties
characteristic of their era".
