Augustinian books/ In your hands

"I am nothing I am nothing else but with you I am everything. My hand in yours: Magnificat." There is all the meaning and value of entrusting oneself in the verses of Anna Maria Benone, who presents in the sacred atmosphere of the ancient cloister of the Augustinians her poetry collection "In Your Hands" (Controluna Editions), discussing it with Grazia Piscopo, a writer and expert on religions. The hands, to be entrusted to, are those of Mary, the "guardian of the crosses," who welcomes this miserable "stray" creature in the grip of delirium and suffering, allowing it to participate in her magnificat. At the end of an intimate and spiritual journey, with the only certainty of "no return," silence speaks of peace and rebirth. In the baptism of love from stray she becomes a daughter and as a daughter she finds her mother again, cultivating hope, even if pain is always lurking. With a dry and direct style, the author rediscovers the essence of the word to get to the true self: the soul.
