Cardinal Martini infuses the joy of the Gospel in these reflections that urge young people (and all Christians) to turn to spiritual reading (lectio divina) and to devotion to Mary as a means to follow Christ. This volume contains two collections of meditations on the Word of God. The first consists of spiritual exercises developed around the Cana wedding story, with Mary as our teacher in discipleship. The stories of crisis and conversion from the Gospel of St Mark form the basis of the second collection, mirroring our lives as followers of Christ.
