Blessed James Alberione and his Thoughts

“Perfect devotion to MARY consists 

in thinking like her, 

desiring what she desires, 

willing what she wills, 

working with her, 

having her intentions. 

In a word, to be entirely in MARY 
to be more perfectly in JESUS!” 

(Blessed James Alberione, ssp) 

Venerable Sister Thecla Merlo and her Thoughts

"I entrust myself to you, Mary: my entire being with all my senses. 

I place everything in your hands. 

Do what you want with them, Mary. 

I know that I am in good hands and that is enough for me. 

Mary, I entrust myself in you. 

Mary, I confide in you!" 

(Venerable Sister Thecla Merlo, fsp)

Blessed James Alberione and his Thoughts

“Where purity is greater, charity is also greater. 

Mary was entirely pure and full of divine charity!” 

(Blessed James Alberione, ssp)

Blessed James Alberione and his Thoughts

“Devotion to Mary is a most effective means 

for acquiring a delicate conscience, 

sensitivity to its voice, 

remorse for sin 

and the joy for having done well. 

Of course, a devotion that is enlightened, 

tender, practical and prayerful!” 

(Blessed James Alberione, ssp)
