Letters from the Desert
"At the age of 44, after a prominent career as a Catholic activist, Carlo Carretto was summoned by a voice that said: 'Leave everything, come with me into the desert. I don't want your action any longer, I want your prayer, your love.' Carretto responded by leaving for North Africa, where he joined the Little Brothers of Jesus and embraced the example of Charles de Foucauld. Among the fruits of Brother Carlo's response was Letters from the Desert, the first and most popular of his many books. Its life-affirming message has inspired countless readers in a dozen languages. Simply, it reminds us that in the evening of our lives we will be judged by love."--Publisher description

Journey Without End
An extended meditation on the sanctity of life and a contemplative's look at life as eternal. Writing in beautiful images of life, love and forgiveness, the author stresses the infinite worth of all forms of human existence. He condemns the willful destruction of life in the womb and in old age, but also shows that forgiveness can be found within the mercy of God. He describes the journey by using images from Scripture to portray the various stages of growth: being freed from slavery, being purified in the desert, seeing the kingdom and acquiring the "treasure hidden in the field", and fighting at Jericho. He concludes with a six-day series of morning and evening prayers and meditations.
Blessed are You who Believed
A moving and inspiring meditation on the author's rediscovery of and love for Mary, the mother of Jesus. "I must admit," he writes, "that my relations with Mary were somewhat marred by the romanticism of the type of Marian devotion that was all the rage before the Vatican Council and which gradually became empty of meaning. She is, after all, the mother of God and has no need of recommendation to be esteemed." His 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, killed because she was discovered to be pregnant before her marriage, opened his eyes to the real life that Mary lived in Nazareth, where she was the subject of neighbours' puritanical scrutiny. Carretto follows her as, with exhaustion in her heart, she visited her cousin Elizabeth, for it was Elizabeth who said to her after hearing her relate her story, "Blessed are you who believed."
