Michal Vojtáš – L’arte salesiana dell’incontro, dell’accompagnamento e del discernimento

La migliore forma concreta dell’approccio salesiano all’educazione è la storia educativa di don Giovanni Bosco.

Alcuni principi di base sono descritti nel breve “trattatello” sul Sistema Preventivo nell’educazione della gioventù del 1877 che vanno, però, capiti dentro una cornice ricca di altri testi narrativi, educativi, motivazionali e regolamentativi.

Giovanni Bosco – Exemplary biographies

The biographical profiles of Louis Comollo (in the 1854 edition), Dominic Savio, Michael Magone and Francis Besucco are among the spiritual and pedagogical documents which are most representative of Don Bosco’s outlook. From these stories comes a horizon of meaning, a way of thinking and acting thoroughly rooted in his cultural context. At the same time however, beyond historical contingencies, they highlight a range of elements which better illustrate the characteristic features of the saint’s spiritual pedagogy.

Giovanni Bosco – Spiritual formation of the young through preaching, “goodnights” and dream accounts

In Don Bosco’s educational system preaching has special importance, both that which is bound up with the liturgical or catechetical context, and that of the informal, familiar kind.

Giovanni Bosco – Saint Dominique Savio 1842-1857

Dominique est entré dans la vie de Don Bosco durant l’automne 1854. L’apôtre turinois avait alors trente-neuf ans. D’emblée, l’enfant et le prêtre s’étaient compris: Don Bosco put former Dominique selon l’idéal de sainteté qu’il portait en lui. Pendant vingt-huit mois, il veilla sur son âme. Toute son œuvre en bénéficia, car il semble bien que la température spirituelle de la «maison» du Valdocco monta en flèche de 1854 à 1857.
La fragilité naturelle de Dominique s’accrut malheureusement très vite et, le 9 mars 1857, il fut emporté par une maladie de poitrine, à quinze ans moins vingt-quatre jours.
Ce jeune garçon avait produit une telle impression que ses nombreux amis et, moins encore, le directeur de son âme ne purent se résoudre à le laisser oublier. Continue reading “Giovanni Bosco – Saint Dominique Savio 1842-1857”
