“I do not believe there is a more difficult task in the world than living on faith, hope, and love! We have to make a leap into the darkness or, more precisely, into the Invisible.”
Carlo Carretto, The God Who Comes
“Christ has freed us from the past with its infinite complexities. In Him we have become "new creatures" and begun a new life, owing nothing to anyone, writing in our book, "Now I am beginning..."

What matter is your past, your sin? Now walk in the newness you have found and sin no more.”
Carlo Carretto, The God Who Comes
“At the same time he puts him into a state of crisis and makes him weak, because it is so difficult to explain things to someone who is always right, who always wins, who is absolutely sure of himself.”
Carlo Carretto, The God Who Comes
“Only very late do we learn the price of the risk of believing, because only very late do we face up to the idea of death.

This is what is difficult. Believing truly means dying. Dying to everything: to our reasoning, to our plans, to our past, to our childhood dreams, to our attachment to earth, and sometimes even to the sunlight, as at the moment of our physical death.”
Carlo Carretto, The God Who Comes
“A friend said to me: "Don't ask me to waste time praying. Don't ask me to look for God in the solitude of your desert. For me, God is in man, and I will search for rapport with Him by serving man."

What can I reply? "Please God, may you succeed! Please God, may you be capable of so much! You say this to me because you do not yet know man, you do not yet know your weakness in serving man! Keeping an attitude of love and service before the tabernacle of man when you have discovered his egoism, arrogance, and capacity for betrayal, is a frightening and demanding task.”
