Marisa Gambato – “The history of the mission of the daughters of Mary help of Christians inserted in the history of Salvation” in “L’educazione salesiana in Europa negli anni difficili del XX secolo”

The first article of the constitution of the FMA expresses this characteristic of the institute as follows:
“Through the gift of the Holy Spiril and the direct intervention of Mary, St. John Bosco Founded our Institute as a response of salvation to the profound hopes of young girls. He endowed it with a spiritual heritage that had its inspiration in the charity of Christ the Good Shepherd, and imparted to it a strong missionary impulse”. (Const.I ).

The history of the mission of the FMA in Japan, therefore inserts itself in the history of the salvation of humanity and in particular to that page of history written by our founders.

Il primo articolo della costituzione delle FMA così esprime questa caratteristica dell’istituto: «Per il dono dello Spirito Santo e per l’intervento diretto di Maria, san Giovanni Bosco fondò il nostro Istituto come risposta di salvezza alle profonde speranze di fanciulle. Lo ha dotato di un’eredità spirituale che ha avuto la sua ispirazione nella carità di Cristo Buon Pastore, e gli ha impartito un forte impulso missionario». (Cost.I). La storia della missione delle FMA in Giappone, quindi, si inserisce nella storia della salvezza dell’umanità e in particolare in quella pagina di storia scritta dai nostri fondatori.
