There is a saying in India that Carlo Maria Martini likes to quote, especially since he is in the last phase of its existence, the "time when you learn into homelessness. " On this proverb, the cardinal has organized the text of this book, which deals with the theme of "life wisdom" in its four phases: childhood, youth, adulthood and old age. The human condition, always temporary despite its apparent continuity, change with the changing of the body and soul under the pressure of the experience and the facts of everyday life. Martini has more times analyzed, in his meetings with young people, workers, the elderly, the risk and magnitude of all ages, each worth living with the utmost care and awareness. The words of the cardinal, one of the most listened to by Catholics and secularists, are therefore the result of a long, personal meditation, and have as their aim not only to help modern man to overcome with serenity and awareness of the many trials she must face every day but also to put in a position to move from one age to another without falling under the weight of the inevitable and increasing difficulty and responsibility that are the true source of our growth. A Guide to all of us, believers and not, at sunrise or sunset of our human adventure, inspired by love and understanding.
"Every time I read a book by Cardinal Martini feel like a new breath of life, a large energy fills my heart, and I can not wait to find his words, his ideas, to hear the beautiful harmony of his soul ... " (Frahorus).
