Brisbane had heavy rains all week, so with a wet morning at 5:00 AM, only Christian and Jeremy went out to join the Archbishop and several hundred people for the 6:00 AM pilgrimage up Mt. Coot-tha. When one of the team suggested it would be too much to walk in the rain for 2 hours, and then another three hours on the barge and Island, he was told: “I wonder what would happen if Simon of Cyrene said it was too wet to carry Jesus’ Cross!” The 10:30 AM Pilgrimage on the Barge to Stradbroke Island took 45 minutes each way, with an hour on the Island.

  • Interiority and Spirituality Alberto Marvelli
    Framework of salesian holiness: interiority and spirituality Alberto Marvelli Elisabetta Casadei Who is Alberto Marvelli? A young man who lived "a life in motion" and died at the age of 28. A passionate educator; a mechanical engineer of the automotive manufacturer Fiat; a young sportsman who loved cycling and mountain climbing; an "honest citizen", who during World War II was not afraid to risk his life to save many others; a politician by vocation, commissioner for reconstruction, highly regarded even by his political opponents. His "adventure" in a sentence: "Love never rests" If we were to sum up his whole life in one sentence, we could perhaps summarize it with a note found in one of his spiritual notebooks: "Love never rests"1. This is an ''adventure of the Spirit" that Alberto Marvelli lived in his short life. A life in love, lived in continuous desire to transform it into a continuous act of love: "My life shall be an act of love"2, he wrote in his Diary. However, the journey of the Spirit, like any other journey, needs a direction; and Alberto, at the age of twenty, when about to finish University studies and had already been an educator in the Oratory Don Bosco in Rimini for many years, felt called by the Spirit to give a more specific direction to his life and - I would say - an acceleration. He writes in his Diary: “To make a point”. This statement is often used in the Navy (and also in other fields) to orient oneself. But much can be said with good reason for the spiritual life.

The Marian Thoughts of Pope Benedict XVI September 2007 Pope's Address at Prayer Vigil in Loreto – September 1, 2007 Lord Jesus, this evening I would like to speak to you, making my own the inner attitude and trusting abandonment of that young woman who, two-thousand years ago, said her "yes" to the Father who chose her to be your Mother. The Father chose her because she was docile and obedient to his will. Like her, like little Mary, each one of you, dear young friends, should say to God with faith: "Here I am; let it be done to me according to your word." … Look at the young Mary; the Angel proposed something truly inconceivable to her: participation, in the most involving way possible, in the greatest of God's plans, the salvation of humanity. Facing this proposal, Mary, as we heard in the Gospel, was distressed for she realized the smallness of her being before the omnipotence of God; and she asked herself: "How is it possible? Why should it be me?".

  • In Continuation with Reflection That We Are Making, This Month I Would Like to Focus on the Aspect of Compassion
    XXV/5 October 2017 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My dearest Sisters, Loving greetings from the provincial house Bangalore! In continuation with reflection that we are making, this month I would like to focus on the aspect of Compassion. We shall do it with the help of “REJOICE!” A letter to consecrated men and women, A message from the teachings of Pope Francis The restlessness of love As living icons of the motherhood and of the closeness to the Church, we go out to those who are waiting for the Word of consolation and we bend down with motherly love and fatherly spirit towards the poor and the weak. The Pope invites us not to privatise love, but with the restlessness of the seeker: “Tirelessly seeking the good of the other, of the beloved”. We are called now, as the Church, to go outside in order to arrive at the margins, geographic, urban and existential – the margins of the mystery of sin, pain, injustice and misery –, to the hidden places of the soul where each person experiences the joys and sufferings of life. “We live in a culture of conflict, a culture of fragmentation, a culture of waste […].Yet poverty for us is a theological category, “because our God, the Son of God, abased himself, he made himself poor to walk along the road with us. […] A poor Church for the poor begins by reaching out to the flesh of Christ. If we reach out to the flesh of Christ, we begin to understand something, to understand what this poverty, the Lord‟s poverty, actually is”.

  • 2018 Hospitaller Activities Report 2017
    MALTESE ASSOCIATION ORDER OF MALTA 2018 HOSPITALLER ACTIVITIES REPORT 2017 SAMOC Trolley Service A trolley refreshment service at Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre continues to be provided as a means of support and comfort to Our Lords the Sick undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment at the hospital. Prison Ministry Volunteers and Members of the Maltese Association visit several young foreign male and female inmates on a regular basis. The aim of these visits is to help these special people regain their confidence and self-esteem to be able to integrate with society once again after discounting their prison term. Prison Ministry Summer BBQ and Thanksgiving Supper The traditional annual Thanksgiving Supper and Summer BBQ for all inmates at the Young Persons Offenders Unit, in Mtahleb are held in January and August respectively. We are immensely thankful to our regular volunteers who unfailingly organise and assist in all the preparations and cooking. Visits to St Vincent de Paule Residence, Home for the Elderly This activity is organised by a dedicated member of the Order and an equally dedicated member of FOTO, mostly for the benefit of persons who lack family and friends to visit them. Monthly visits from October to June take place at the Ruzar Briffa Section. Pre-Lourdes Lunch for Malades The Maltese Association organised a familiarisation lunch for Our Lords the Sick at The Radisson Blu Hotel in St Julians. This event gives the opportunity for patients and personnel to meet up and get to know each other. The patients are also briefed on the pilgrimage to Lourdes.

  • VALDOCCO – the LAND of SANCTITY the Path to Holiness in the Company of the Saints
    VALDOCCO – THE LAND OF SANCTITY The Path to Holiness in the company of the Saints Going through some places of our origins, we want to welcome the call to holiness of Pope Francis which resounds loudly for us today through his witness of life and the Word. 1 The Family of Don Bosco, developing a characteristic spirituality of charismatic origin, enriches the whole Body of the Church with a very particular model of Christian life. This is borne out by the numerous groups of spiritual sons and daughters of Don Bosco who have already been declared Venerable or saints, or set out on the path of beatification and canonization.... (From the Charismatic Identity Card of the Salesian Family, 6). The spirituality inherited from Don Bosco is eminently ecclesial: it manifests and nourishes the communion of the Church by building, within the Christian communities, a network of fraternal relationships and effective collaborations; it is an educational spirituality that aims to help the young and the poor to feel at ease in the Church, to be builders of the Church and participants in her mission; it is a spirituality that enriches the whole Church with the gift of the holiness of so many of her sons and daughters. (From the Charismatic Identity Card of the Salesian Family, 26). 2 BATTISTERO DELLA BASILICA DI MARIA 1 AUSILIATRICE LIVE THE GRACE OF BAPTISM At the Baptismal Font, we are born to the life of grace: immersed in the death on the cross of Jesus, we have been subtracted from the power of original sin and we have risen to the new life that Jesus inaugurated.

  • 1. Presentazione
    contattaci N°18 marzo 2014 INDICE della PAGINA 1. Presentazione 2. Esperienze 3. Sussidi pastorali 4. Posta coi lettori Edition with English translation 1.1 PRESENTAZIONE L A GIOIA DEL VANGELO di papa Francesco Papa Francesco ci ha donato la sua prima Esortazione Apostolica: "Evangelii Gaudium". Il tema centrale del documento e' la gioia. «Non lasciamoci rubare la gioia dell'evangelizzazione… la gioia del vangelo e' quella che niente e nessuno potrà mai toglierci» (nn. 83-84). È il Papa stesso che da' ragione del tema scelto: «La gioia del vangelo riempie il cuore e la vita intera di coloro che si incontrano con Gesù. Coloro che si lasciano salvare da lui sono liberati dal peccato, dalla tristezza, dal vuoto interiore, dall'isolamento» (n. 1). indice Lo scopo del documento, rivolto ai fedeli cristiani, e' di «invitarli a una nuova evangelizzazione marcata da questa gioia». L'esortazione si sviluppa in cinque capitoli, che delineano il tema della gioia nella vita di ogni cristiano e delle comunità cristiana: gioia nella evangelizzazione, nell'impegno comunitario, nell'impegno sociale, nell'economia, nella pace, nel servizio privilegiato ai poveri. Riportiamo due brani sulle radici della gioia nell’evangelizzazione, invitando tutti a leggere e meditare tutta l'Esortazione Apostolica. «Come vorrei trovare le parole per incoraggiare una stagione evangelizzatrice più fervorosa, gioiosa, generosa, audace, piena di amore fino in fondo e di vita contagiosa» (n. 261). «L'entusiasmo nella evangelizzazione si fonda su questa convinzione. Abbiamo a disposizione un tesoro di vita e di amore che non può ingannare, il messaggio che non può manipolare, ne' illudere.
