A staircase to heaven. The journey of Annita, Francesca, Margherita and Teresa

Four women. Four stories that illuminate the path of faith in everyday life. Annita Bindi, fragile in body but with a soul deeply anchored in the Lord Jesus, an example of silent self-offering. Francesca, bedridden for decades, transforms suffering into a powerful lesson of hope and salvation for others. Margaret of Cortona, from sin to holiness, a journey of redemption that consecrates her as a “ladder for sinners.” Teresa Secomandi, a mystery of devotion and care for others. Through Lucia Bigozzi’s sensitive writing, these extraordinary lives intertwine, revealing the “holiness next door” and offering profound food for thought for today’s men and women. Enriched by first-hand testimonies and spiritual reflections, this book is not merely a story, but an invitation to rediscover inner strength and the presence of the sacred in the little things.
