When the bells ring in celebration. The unconventional life of Saint Carlo Acutis

Don Michele Munno offers this new biography of the young Carlo Acutis - enriched by previously unpublished testimonies from Carlo's family members and by precious pages taken from the young man's diary - as a multilayered tool. In the 15 chapters, 15 corresponding to the Saint's years of life, the most significant episodes of his existence are presented first; each narrative chapter is followed by a chapter that attempts to delve deeper into Carlo's inner life, grasping the profound motivations behind his actions and the “Source” of his extraordinariness. Between one chapter and the next is a section entitled “the compass,” containing a passage from Scripture: this is, in fact, what Carlo called the Word of God, a “compass” for our steps. The volume is completed by a second part dedicated to his beatification, his imminent canonization, and prayers. This biography gives us precious pages for getting to know Carlo, understanding his secret, and trying to follow in his footsteps!
