Blessed Are You Who Believed

by Carlo Carretto
Blessed Are You Who Believed
Blessed Are You Who Believed

Rediscovery of Mary's essence beyond romanticism.

If you've ever felt disconnected from the traditional depictions of religious figures, "Blessed Are You Who Believed" might resonate with you deeply. Carlo Carretto shares an intimate and down-to-earth portrayal of Mary that goes beyond the idealized images. His insights stem from personal reflection and profound encounters, making this book a subtle yet powerful reimagination of Mary's role and significance.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This work is a meditation on the author's rediscovery of the love for Mary, the mother of Jesus. Carlo Carretto's own renewal of devotion began during his long period in the desert, living among the Little Brothers of Charles de Foucauld. The fate of one particular Tuareg girl opened his eyes to the real life that Mary lived in Nazareth. Her position there, the subject of neighbors' puritanical scrutiny, Carretto follows here as, with exhaustion in her heart, she revisited her cousin Elizabeth, for it was Elizabeth who said to her after hearing her relate her story, Blessed are you who believed.
