Consolata Betrone (born Pierina Betrone), mystic and nun of the Franciscan Capuchine order, was born in Saluzzo, Piedmont, Italy, on 6 April 1903, and died in the convent of Moriondo, Testona, on 18 July 1946.
According to her confessor, father Lorenzo Sales, Christ himself taugh her the way of the jaculatory prayer and perpetual invocation of the Holy Name (See "Jesus Appeals to the world", Alba House, 1971).
For Frithjof Schuon, the message of Consolata Betrone is a central one for our epoch, since it links the way of spiritual childlikeness of Saint Therese of Lisieux with the invocatory path. Her perpetual prayer/invocation was: "Jesus-Mary, I love thee, save souls". She was one of the great contemplatives of the twentieth century, together with Padre Pio the stigmatist, shaykh Ahmad al-Alawi, Shri Ramana Maharshi , and Black Elk (see "Ye Shall know the Truth: Christianity and the Perennial Philosophy", edited by Mateus Soares de Azevedo, USA, 2005, p. 267-8).
