“Great books have the power to read us, they provide us with a key to deciphering our lives. Among them, some have a greater value that transcends into a higher and, in a certain sense, more dangerous territory. I am referring to those texts considered sacred. This danger stems from their extraordinary power. If misused, spiritual motivations can fuel wars because they appeal to a power of meaning that is greater than a simple belief. But when the spiritual becomes a destructive force, it ceases to be spiritual and is perverted into ideology. True spirituality unifies the person and creates the conditions for fundamental relationships.”
“The Power of Meekness” stems precisely from the desire to offer a profound interpretation of reality and the human soul that creates connections between people who are apparently very distant from each other in terms of beliefs, convictions, and culture.
To achieve this, Luigi Maria Epicoco guides us through the pages of Matthew’s Gospel, allowing us to replicate the evangelist’s original intention in our own lives: to reconnect the past with the present and demonstrate how Christ’s most divine attribute lies in his meekness and humanity. Just as Moses in the Old Testament stories climbs the mountain to receive the Law from God, so Jesus climbs the mountain to give a new one: that of the Beatitudes.
Step by step, the reader is guided in re-examining their existence, entering a spiritual dimension that touches on the profound human questions that unite believers and non-believers alike.
