Blessed Lodovico of Casoria helped Mother Maddalena to come to the United States when he financially assisted Mother Ignatius Hayes, who was Mother Maddalena’s travelling companion to America. He observed:
Be steady, humble and meek at the feet of the Holy See. Listen to her, as if God would speak to you. Obey her commands, her orders, her ideas and even her thoughts. The Church of Christ is the Supreme Authority over all human authorities. She alone is peace and universal prosperity. All the other authorities, if they do not conform themselves to and depend from her Supreme Authority, are only dead authorities, because they do not cooperate with the last end of our creation which is the salvation of souls redeemed by the Savior Jesus Christ.
