Feast of Blessed James Alberione

On 26 November 1971, Servant of God James Alberione, the Founder of the Pauline Family, died in Rome just one hour after his holiness Pope Paul VI visited him, brining him the consolation of his apostolic blessing.
In July 1936, James Alberione confessed: "Truly I belong to Jesus Christ with all my powers, everywhere, in all places.
Contemplating rather than meditating on Jesus Christ and striving to discover myself, I have a double mission.
The first is concerning my being: though by nature and grace I am nothing, however, sin has made me horribly deformed.
The second is a heavenly one about Jesus Master, the beloved of the Father, the merciful redeemer in whom we have to be incorporated and by him I have to live as a Christian, a religious and a priest.
Like Peter, I have wept, hoped, prayed and loved; my trust however is greater than all my humiliations".
(A Year with Ven. James Alberione, 2000, St. Paul, India)

I am identified with Christ: His affairs are mine; His intentions, mine; I speak His words; my doctrine is His; my life is that of Christ; I complete the works of Christ; or better, it is Christ that completes His works for me.
