C'è un'ansia di cambiamento nel mondo. Papa Francesco la raccoglie nei suoi gesti e nelle sue parole, specialmente in un tempo di crisi quale quello che stiamo vivendo. È chiaro che abbiamo tutti bisogno di capire che cosa ci sta accadendo, di dare una lettura umana e spirituale di quel che viviamo. Francesco, come si comprende in questo volume, assimila la visione di sant'Ignazio di Loyola così come emerge negli Esercizi Spirituali. E afferma che i "desideri allargano il cuore": è in essi che "si può discernere la voce di Dio" nella storia di oggi.

В двадцать восемь лет Шмитт предпринял пеший поход по пустыне Сахара. Он отправился туда будучи атеистом, а, десять дней спустя, вернулся глубоко верующим человеком. Вдали от привычного окружения писатель и драматург открыл для себя простую жизнь, завязал дружбу с туарегами. А потом он заблудился на просторах Ахаггара. На протяжении тридцати часов он ничего не ел и не пил, он не понимал, где оказался, и сумеют ли его найти. И ночь, проведенная под звездами, открыла ему новый духовный путь.
