Carlo Carretto, one of the great spiritual writers of our time, died on the feast of St. Francis in 1988. Yet his inspirational writing lives on today in his letters to his sister Dolcidia, a Salesian nun. Written between 1954 and 1983, these letters begin at the time Carretto was living in the African desert as a Little Brother of Jesus. The richness of these letters carries us into Brother Carlo's spiritual life — his struggles, his inner joys, his understanding of suffering and silence, and above all, his closeness to Jesus — the result of his total abandonment to the will of God through long hours of prayer.
