“Is not the Blessed Virgin
under the beautiful title of Consolata
our Mother, and we her children?
Yes, our most tender Mother,
who loves us like the apple of her eye,
who conceived the Institute and supported it
spiritually and materially.
You are the favorites of the Consolata,
a living miracle of Our Lady’s graces;
You ought to have something special,
a different holiness, a distinct character.
The name you bear must stimulate you
to become what you must be”

St. Joseph Allamano
