Sister Annita Bindi. Accepting and Offering. In Silence

Journalist Lucia Bigozzi tells the story of Sister Annita Bindi through the eyes and words of those who knew and spent time with her. The author has collected countless testimonies and turned the spotlight on a person to whom thousands of people from Arezzo feel deeply connected. A simple yet extraordinary life, devoted to Jesus and to serving others. On her gravestone, she wanted the “rule” she followed throughout her life to be written: “Accept and offer. In silence.” This is Sister Annita’s teaching, the essence of her mission in the world, the incredible strength of that “little black rag,” as she called herself. Page after page, word after word, you will see this “little-big nun” come to life again - a woman who made welcomed and accepted suffering a song of offering to Jesus and knew how to spread Jesus’ love by comforting, encouraging, and smiling at everyone who rang the bell of her small iron gate.
