“It was my highest ideal together with the Catholic University and I gave my existence to it. I would have liked to be better, to have more culture, because I attended until the fifth grade, even if I later obtained the Diploma of Maestra Giardiniera (kindergarten teacher) by correspondence, to be as close as possible to those more cultured than me, but the Lord wanted it this way and I, at the end of my life, thank Him for the Big Sister He gave us, for the Female Youth and for my life. To you young people I want to say: love Catholic Action, not the one of twenty or thirty years ago, make it have the enthusiasm, the penetration, the value that it had at its origins, but with a modern structure. Create the new AC, that of the year 2000, completely rooted in the Council!”
«Let's not say that today it is more difficult;
it's different. Let's learn rather
by the saints who have gone before us
and they faced the difficulties
characteristic of their era".
