“St. Joseph Allamano said that ‘before being Consoled (Consolata), Mary had been the Sorrowful’. She lived the passion and death in profound communion with Jesus and in the mystery of the Resurrection she was fully Consoled. Consolation is a gift of the Spirit, the Comforter, continually present in the heart of Mary, the true dwelling place of God. We understand why Mary, the Consolata, who knows God and knows God’s ways, is our sure guide on the path that leads to Him”.
These quotes are taken from the fourth meditation on the journey of preparation for the Centenary of the birth into heaven of Saint Giuseppe Allamano (16 February 2026). This journey, throughout the Consolata Family in the world, began with the feast of the Foundation of the two Institutes, celebrated on 29 January 2025.
The first reflection in March invited us to meditate on “Holiness and God Alone.” In April, in the second meditation we reflected on “Holiness and the Eucharistic Dimension of Life.” “Holiness and the spirit of prayer’ was the theme of the third meditation in May. We are now publishing the fourth, entitled “The Consolata, a living presence on our path to holiness”.
