La fede che parte dal cuore e dona gioia, per andare avanti nonostante le difficoltà, dare un senso profondo all’esistenza e scoprire che nel donarsi agli altri si ottiene la pace per se’ e per il mondo intero. Questi brani, composti tra i 16 e i 19 anni, esprimono la fiducia nella vita che stavo per vivere e ora, in età adulta, desidero offrirli a te, che stai leggendo,
perché allietino il tuo Cammino.
Simonetta Camilletti
