Questa nostra età, tenacemente protesa all’affermazione della dignità della persona umana e dei suoi diritti, può trovare in don Bosco una illuminata guida per la formazione delle future generazioni ed un tenace protettore nello svolgimento della delicata missione.
Il numero unico, che NPG dedica al centenario, si snoda nel riconoscimento e accettazione del carisma che è don Bosco per la società e per la chiesa, si apre alla riattualizzazione per l’oggi di questo dono. Come impegno per i Salesiani, come proposta per chi opera e crede nell’educazione della gioventù.
And so the main object of our reflections will be the figure of Don Bosco, a figure we shall try to make contact with, not so much to understand his external actions which we all know about already, but rather to understand the conditions, the motivations, the spirit which led him to make specific choices, to work in a specific way, to write about particular matters, to reach a particular form of holiness which is specifically his own, different in some ways from that of other saints.
Le Salésien, disciple de Don Bosco, devra se sanctifier comme lui dont la manière de sainteté a été authentifiée, canonisée, si l’on peut dire, par l’autorité infaillible de l’Eglise.
En d’autres termes, la « perfection de’ l’Evangile », point de départ de toute sainteté, dans son application pratique au problème particulier de l’éducation, nous est parvenue à. travers un saint éducateur, Don Bosco, qui, de ce fait, se présente à tous comme le modèle achevé, mieux que cela comme le type idéal et le chef-d’œuvre par excellence à reproduire.
C’est donc son mode de sainteté, reproduit d’aussi près que possible, qui marquera pour nous Salésiens le point culminant de la perfection à réaliser. Continue reading “Henri Bouquier – Le pas dans les pas de Don Bosco ou Spiritualité Salesiénne”

Joseph Boenzi writes of the many times that the figure of St. Francis de Sales enters into the life and ministry of Don Bosco. The final word may never be written on why Don Bosco chose Francis de Sales as the patron of his Congregation but What is Salesian in Don Bosco? throws light on the subject.

A noted Salesian scholar and author, Fr. Desramaut has recently undertaken a work of major proportions, a dictionary of Salesian spirituality. The title of the work is: Les cent mots-clefs de la spiritualite salesienne (One Hundred Keywords in Salesian Spirituality). It is being published in installments in Cahiers Salesiens, the journal of the Center of Salesian Studies in Lyons (France), over which Fr. Desramaut presides.
