From the homily of the beatification of John Paul II

«Alberto Marvelli, a strong and free young man, a generous son of the Church of Rimini and of Catholic Action, conceived his entire short life of just 28 years as a gift of love to Jesus for the good of his brothers. "Jesus has wrapped me in his grace", he wrote in his diary; "I see only Him, I think only of Him". Alberto had made the daily Eucharist the center of his life. In prayer, he also sought inspiration for political commitment, convinced of the need to live fully as children of God in history, to make this a history of salvation. In the difficult period of the Second World War, which sowed death and multiplied violence and atrocious suffering, Blessed Albert nurtured an intense spiritual life, from which sprang that love for Jesus which led him to constantly forget himself to take up the cross of the poor". .

Benedict XVI to Catholic Action - Rome, 4 May 2008

"These witnesses, who followed Jesus with all their strength,
who worked hard for the Church and for the Kingdom of God,
they represent your most authentic identity card.
Isn't it possible, still today, for you children, for you young people and adults,
make your life a testimony of communion with the Lord
that it becomes an authentic masterpiece of holiness?
Isn't that exactly the purpose of your Association?»
