Il testo di queste “sintesi e prospettive” è stato concepito come strumento di lavoro o punto di partenza per il dialogo tra i partecipanti, nell’incontro conclusivo del Convegno. Nella presente redazione sono stati tenuti in conto i rilievi, le osservazioni e i suggerimenti emersi nella discussione. Ovviamente, questa rapida sintesi non può e non vuole esaurire la ricchezza degli argomenti trattati e delle informazioni offerte nelle dense giornate “mexicanas”.
This article is written by our own Arthur J. Lenti, of the Institute of Salesian Spirituality in Berkeley. The article studies “Don Bosco’ s Beatification and Canonization Story: Highlights and Sidelights,” and incorporates material that Fr. Lenti has developed for classes and retreats over the course of the last year.
The word “Aesthetics” sounds somewhat abstract in English, but it represents a theme that has been explored in European formation and educational circles. Fr. Biesmans uses the term to include education in music, drama and fine arts, as well as physical education through recreation, gymnastics and sport.
In the article, Fr. Frank looks at the images of God and Community and poses questions that young people in Western Societies are facing on the threshold of the Third Millennium. He moves from the contemporary to the scriptural, and looks at the figure of Jesus and questions of discipleship as posed in the New Testament. What is the significance of discipleship in the Gospels? How does this significance speak to our reality? to our vocation as Christians, and as Salesians? These are the questions of the middle portion of Fr. Moloney’ s reflections.

Si offre l’edizione critica di sette schemi autografi di predicazione di don Bosco conservati nell’ASC e composti in occasione di alcune feste mariane. Solo due di essi sono datati (3 giugno 1842 e 11 settembre 1864). Altri due, in base alla grafia, possono essere attribuiti ai primi anni di ministero sacerdotale, mentre i restanti appartengono certamente agli anni della maturità. Nonostante la concisione, questi manoscritti contengono alcuni dei punti che caratterizzano il magistero mariano di don Bosco, Continue reading “Aldo Giraudo – “Gli appunti di predicazione mariana di don Bosco.

This is the essay which is given here in English as meticulously translated by Fr. Arthur J. Lenti.
Chi un giorno vorrà cimentarsi nella ricostruzione storica dei percorsi di attuazione del Concilio Vaticano II da parte della Famiglia Salesiana, si troverà ad analizzare una varietà di eventi e realizzazioni, coordinati dall’alto o promananti dalla base, che testimoniano l’entusiasmo, la cordiale apertura e il grande fervore operativo del postconcilio.

This is the story of a woman; a woman that commands our attention; a woman of extraordinary character, virtue and holiness; a woman of exquisite personal sensitivity.
The author of this article wants to explore the phenomenology of Giovanni Bosco’s encounter with his pupils. We would like to explain two explorative issues, that is, a) what are the characteristic features of Giovanni Bosco’s relations with his students and what are the resulting implications; and b) how socially maladjusted youth perceive their educator and how such teacher-student relations fit into the category of the master-apprentice dialogue?
The theme of Pure Love is essential to understanding a Salesian spirituality as lived within the Visitandine tradition. This article explores pure love through the lens of holy indifference which is essential for true spiritual freedom. It concludes with an examination of holy indifference as lived by Mary the paradigm of pure love.

Fullness of life and the happiness of human beings is the ultimate purpose of the plan of God. The Gospel of Christ shows great trust in humanity. It demands that we pay attention to the unique reality of every person and their willingness to accept their vocation and destiny in Christ, the perfect man. The Gospel proposes the good news (the person of Christ) who invites everyone to share in Christ’s sonship, the foundation of the freedom and dignity of every person. Don Bosco educated and evangelised by carrying out a project of holistic development. He saw education as the growth of the person, with all the means necessary to assist the person. Evangelisation inspires people to the fullness of life offered in Jesus and enlightens them in its pursuit, always respecting the developing conscience of each person. Finally, regarding the choice of fi eld of ministry, we are sent to the poor, especially the poorest, and to ordinary class environments, where we seek to humanise and evangelise the culture.

An updated presentation of Salesian Youth Ministry requires refl ection not only of a charismatic type but also of a theological nature. Youth Ministry as an activity of the ecclesial community demands of us a deep theological and ecclesiological study. This chapter expounds three basic convictions: Jesus Christ, the evangeliser who proclaimed communion with God and communion between people (fraternal love), is the full revelation of God as a community of love. The Church is the mystery of Communion and mission, animated and sustained by the Spirit of God. The Salesian Congregation shares the Church’s evangelising mission, with a specific option for the young.
