  Il grido dell’Amore: Vita e spiritualità di santa Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi
Paola Moschetti

In this year of celebration of the 400th anniversary of the death of the Florentine Carmelite mystic, Moschetti contributes this 205 page book to demonstrate that the message of Mary Magdalen has value in our day—that the Word of God continues to provoke, purify, and transform. Simple and direct, Moschetti offers a clear synthesis of the entire spiritual journey of the great Carmelite.
