Lo spunto di questo mio studio sull’attività editoriale e libraria di Don Bosco mi è stato dato dalla lettura della Vita di S. Antonio Maria Claret scritta dal P. Cristóbal Fernàndez C. M. F. (1). In essa, a pag. 564, si legge un giudizio di Pio XI su Don Bosco in paragone col Claret, che mi lasciò veramente sorpreso.

Creemos en la educación y nos determinamos a proyectarla en la praxis; la pastoral juvenil se ejerce cuando se traduce concretamente en itinerarios educativos. El esfuerzo para proyectar, con el PEPS, hace real la voluntad de ser propositivos con los jóvenes. Según las cuatro dimensiones, se nos ayuda a desarrollar la personalidad del joven cristiano, con una variedad orgánica de propuestas y una amplia comprensión de la pastoral de los jóvenes, abierta a todos. Al final, se presentan algunas opciones transversales de la pastoral salesiana.

El sentido último del plan de Dios es la vida plena y la felicidad de los seres humanos. El Evangelio de Cristo tiene gran confi anza en lo humano. Es necesaria la atención a la realidad única de cada persona y la disponibilidad a acoger su vocación y destino en Cristo, “hombre perfecto”. El Evangelio propone la grata noticia (la persona de Jesús), que invita a cada uno a participar de la filiación en Cristo, fundamento de la libertad y la dignidad de toda persona. Don Bosco educa y evangeliza realizando un proyecto de promoción integral: la educación como crecimiento de la persona, como conjunto de mediaciones necesarias al servicio de las personas; la evangelización inspira e ilumina la plenitud de la vida ofrecida en Jesús, respetando la condición evolutiva del sujeto. Finalmente, la elección del campo apostólico: los jóvenes, sobre todo los más pobres y los ambientes populares, para los cuales y en los cuales se humaniza y evangeliza la cultura.

We believe in education and we challenge ourselves to plan our procedures in its regard; youth ministry comes into being when education is translated into concrete educational processes. The effort to plan, by means of the SEPP, keeps alive our willingness to be actively present amongst the young. By following the four dimensions we are helped in developing the personality of the young Christian through a systematic variety of proposals and a broad understanding of youth ministry which is open to everyone. In the end there are certain choices which run through all of Salesian ministry. Continue reading “Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Salesian educative and pastoral project: operational tool”
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.
