Don Giulio Barberis (1847-1927), primo maestro dei novizi della Società Salesiana, ci ha  lasciato un’importante testimonianza su Don Bosco e sulla vita dell’oratorio di Valdocco nei quindici quaderni della sua “Cronichetta”. In essa riporta le attività dell’oratorio, detti e fatti della vita di Don Bosco e alcune riflessioni dal 1875 al 1879.

Gabriele Gozzi – “Abitare con speranza il nostro tempo. L’itinerario educativo di Alberto Marvelli” in “Giovani e scelte di vita. Prospettive educative”



click to download pdf

Del giovane Beato riminese Alberto Marvelli si sono sempre sottolineati l’impegno nel sociale, la carità verso i poveri, la vita di preghiera, mentre è rimasto un po’ in ombra l’impegno educativo. Eppure, questo ha assorbito una parte non trascurabile del suo tempo e delle sue energie. Gli scritti di Alberto sull’educazione sono, in realtà, di grande interesse, perché non solo ci aiutano ad approfondire la conoscenza della sua personalità e della sua spiritualità, ma servono anche a farci comprendere come un’intera generazione abbia potuto “resistere” moralmente agli atteggiamenti, ai comportamenti, agli stili di vita presentati dalla propaganda del Regime e sia stata in grado al termine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale di impegnarsi
nella costruzione di un tessuto morale e sociale democratico. Continue reading “Gabriele Gozzi – “Abitare con speranza il nostro tempo. L’itinerario educativo di Alberto Marvelli” in “Giovani e scelte di vita. Prospettive educative”” →

During the recent months of June and July, the Grand Rector has presided over the plenary sessions of the General Council, where various aspects of the life of the provinces in the present day were examined. Among these topics, one that particularly stands out, linked to our ongoing renewal, is “Salesian spirituality and ecclesial Movements.” This topic presents an opportunity for reflection that can deepen our identity and, in some cases, steer us away from deviations.

La storia dell’Istituto delle Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice è costantemente permeata dal riferimento al Fondatore san Giovanni Bosco,presupposto che garantisce la vitalità e la continuità della sua missione educativa lungo il tempo. Il ritornare con intelligenza e senso critico alle proprie radici, infatti, è un’azione imprescindibile al fine di orientare in modo saggio e coraggioso le scelte operative nel campo dell’educazione cristiana dei giovani e delle giovani.

Amongst the documents drawn up by the third (1883) and fourth (1886) General Chapter of the Salesian Congregation – which the founder also took part in – of particular merit is the new Regulations for the festive oratories and deliberations regarding Orientations for the working boys in Salesian houses. The two documents were published, as already recorded, in 1887.

Giovanni Bosco – “Appeals to private charity” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected works”

The financial contributions asked for and obtained from public authorities and institutions were certainly not enough to help him confront the huge expenses of the Salesian Work. It was necessary to appeal to private charity. Logically, Don Bosco turned especially to families and individuals who had financial possibilities, meaning those belonging to the nobility, mostly large property owners, and the upper and middle class of the time who were notably ready to dispense charity. Some of these, albeit modest in their private savings, could actually find an outlet in educational and charitable works such as those of Don Bosco.

The present article is not concerned with the new constitutions. No comparative study will be attempted, nor any reference will be made to them. This would be carrying coal to Newcastle.
