The Courageous Revolution of the Magnificat

Cardinal Angelo Comastri, with the sensitivity and insight that distinguish him, guides readers on a wonderful journey through time to discover how true and revolutionary the words of the Magnificat remain today. In a world where entertainment is increasing, joy is in fact disappearing; for this reason, Cardinal Comastri wanted to give everyone pages full of meaning and depth, capable of inspiring reflection. He portrays the wonderful picture God draws whenever the heart is receptive and open, combining significant events from the lives of several well-known figures (Alexis Carrel, Edith Stein, André Frossard, Napoleon, Alessandro Manzoni, Ernest Hemingway, Saint Bernadette, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch...) with the timeless beauty of the Psalms. An intense and moving book that, through Mary ? the smallest and at the same time most joyful woman ever to appear on the face of the earth ? helps readers discover the beauty, wisdom, and happiness hidden in the Magnificat!
