\u201cAll the more so as missionaries,” said St. Joseph Allamano, “we must know how to enter into the mystery of the cross” (This I want you to be<\/em> n. 136).” In a certain way, we must be ‘experts’ in its mystery of salvation and in the suffering of the poor\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow can I immerse myself in the lives of the people, in the tangle of suffering that accompanies so many peoples in today’s world, and become a voice of hope and consolation, a proclamation of salvation, without following the same path that Jesus travelled?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These quotes are taken from the seventh meditation on the journey of preparation for the Centenary of the birth into heaven of Saint Giuseppe Allamano (16 February 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Crucified One is the model for those who must carry out mission and unite the human family (“when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself” Jn 12:32). In fact, unity with the other is not possible without “I” emptying myself of myself. The only thing that has to stay in me is love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
