Thoughts of our Founder

St Joseph Marello

A LIFE FOR GOD AND NEIGHBOR

by Maria Angela Verna and Fr. Gennaro Citera, O.S.J.

THE SAINTS, PEOPLE OF GOD
People of God upset the laws of nature. While the waves of time tend to submerge events and persons, first removing them from sight and then from memory, the presence of those creatures who, marked by God, lived doing good and sowing love, increases with the passage of each day, until they stand out on our horizon as the only truly great people in history. One such man is Saint Marello, Bishop of Acqui, Founder of the Oblates of St. Joseph. The Beatification of this meek Pastor of the Church reveals to the Christian world the admirable harmony between his thought and action, the height of the ideal to which he tended and his constancy in achieving it, the depth of his interior life and the tremendous fruitfulness of his apostolate. These are all aspects of a spiritual personality extraordinarily vibrant and modern, even one hundred and fifty years after his birth and a century after his death. more...
