Thoughts of Blessed James Alberione

The secret of greatness is to model oneself on God, by living in Christ. Therefore, let the thought of living and working in the Church and for the Church always be clear; grafting oneself, like a wild olive tree, onto the living olive, the Eucharistic Christ, reflecting on and nourishing oneself with each phrase of the Gospel according to the spirit of St. Paul.


Charity consists in two flames: one directed towards God and the other towards neighbor.


If we want to reach the Father, to understand the mind of God, to experience the love of God and to see the Father's attitude toward us, then we must look at Jesus. We must study Jesus. In his lifetime, his teaching made an impression on the people because he taught them with authority and not like their own scribes (cf. Mt 7:28-29). Jesus therefore becomes the center of our lives and our only goal. 

Mary is Queen of Apostles because she possesses and accomplishes what the apostles together possess and accomplish and will accomplish. She possesses and accomplishes the duty of forming, guiding, sustaining and giving fruits and compensation to all apostles.
