Loneliness can point to the very question of our identity - "who am I?" This question affects everyone in every generation, yet very few people are willing to admit that they feel lonely because of the stigma attached.

With the help of the saints and other Christians who have experienced loneliness, Fr Antonio Ritaccio offers practical and spiritual help to sufferers - revealing that loneliness, instead of crushing us, can become a significant mechanism that leads us to discover who we really are, and to recognise that we are loved by God.
