  • EX ALLIEVI Newsflash - 5 October 2020 the VOICE of the RECTOR MAJOR
    EEXX AALLLLIIEEVVII NNeewwssffllaasshh YEAR 9 - I SSUE 39 - 5 OCTOBER 2020 Religious and Social magazine of the World Confederation of Ex-students of Don Bosco English Edition (translations: Sandra Pistilli) 150 years of History THE VOICE OF THE RECTOR MAJOR FROM VALDOCCO TO THE WHOLE WORLD ... Today the invitation is made to everyone: Come! Get to know Valdocco. Browse around. Experience this place. Be still and listen to what the “walls are saying” because “at Valdocco, everything speaks”... What has taken place in transforming this space is much more than the mere remodeling of walls and rooms. A dream has come to life. It all began more than 160 years ago when a small band of young men and boys who loved their educator, Don Bosco, made the commitment to give life to a 'Society' - the “Pious Society of Saint Francis de Sales”. Out of this first small group grew a new Religious Order, today cal - led the “Salesians of Don Bosco”. Prior to the gathering of that small band, Don Bosco had arrived at the "Pinardi" property and shed. He rented its two pieces of land to begin the first permanent Salesian Oratory. It was here, in this humble and simple place, that his precious work began. In this, he followed the example of Our Lord who was born in a stable, in the greatest poverty, and with the sole protection of the loving arms of his Mother, Mary of Nazareth, and of her humble spouse, St. Joseph. Today as Yesterday. In just a few days, October 2-4, 2020, we will celebrate with the public the realization of a “ dream ”, a beautiful dream, of making the Pinardi property a place that “ speaks ”.

  • January 2019
    XXVI/8 January 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My dearest Sisters, Affectionate greetings from the Provincial House as we begin the New Year 2019! We are fortunate to enter the New Year as it is a precious gift of God to us. He assures us of his presence and accompaniment in different ways and which is found in the various verses of the Scripture. Let us meditate on some of these Scripture passages personally to find strength and courage to begin this year with great enthusiasm and passion to love God more intimately and to radiate the same love to the community and the mission entrusted to us. By praying and reflecting on the Word of God we can be victorious in all circumstances of life. May the New Year bring new life to each one of us and help us to live the New Year resolutions with great constancy and resoluteness. “See I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name”. (Rev.3.18) “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done”. ( Rev.22: 12) And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name “. (Ex. 33:17) This is what the Lord says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded”.

  • 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.

    SECOND PART VERIFICATION OF THE STRUCTURES OF ANIMATION AND OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT VERIFICATION OF THE STRUCTURES OF ANIMATION AND OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT Introduction [87] The GC25 has carried out the verification of the structures of government and of their functioning, requested in the letter from the Rector Major convoking the Chapter itself, starting from a careful examination of the contents of articles 122 and 123 of the Constitutions regarding the principles and general criteria of the service of authority in our Congregation. In addition it has accepted what the General Council said on the basis of studies and of the experience of the last six-year period, regarding the value of the general principle of “unity around the Superior, considered always as the centre of unity and animator of communion in the community at all levels” (AGC 372, 52-53) and of some articles of the Constitutions (AGC 372, pp. 56-57) specifically: a) the nature of the General Council in that it assists the Rector Major and collaborates with him in the functioning of government and animation of the Congregation (art. 130); b) the organization of the Council into Councillors for Departments and Regional Councillors, is considered to be substantially positive for the animation and the government of the Congregation (art. 133); c) the residence of the Regional Councillors in the house of the Council, judged necessary for ensuring the unity of the guidance and the activity of animating the Provinces (art. 131); d) the subsidiarity and decentralization, that recognize a proper autonomy and a right distribution of powers between the different organs of government (art.

  • January 2020 ------My Dearest Sisters, Affectionate and Prayerful Greetings for a Very Blessed and Fruitful New Year!
    XXVII/8 January 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My dearest Sisters, Affectionate and Prayerful Greetings for a very blessed and fruitful New Year! Time is one of the greatest gifts that God gives us. As we are at the start of a brand new year 2020, may I wish each one of you a year of grace, growth, and abundant blessings for you and in particular for the young people for whom we live and work. Let us begin this New Year with lot of positive attitudes towards oneself and others. I would like to propose for our reflection the document “NEW WINE IN NEW WINESKINS” It is the 9th magisterial document on the Consecrated Life published by Pope Francis. Approved by him on 3rd January 2017 and was published by the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. This document is one in which consecrated men and women are called to blaze new trails so that ideals and doctrine can be incarnated in the systems, structures, ministries, styles, relationships, and vocabularies of their life.” Nobody puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins too. No! New wine, in fresh skins! (MK2; 22) Jesus invites His disciples to understand the freshness and vitality of his message and warns them about the dry and rigid wineskins and ancient structures that cannot contain the force of the new wine, which is the joyous and sparkling proclamation of the gospel. If we want our charism to remain relevant, and our lives as consecrated people to speak to our contemporaries, our own lives have to find new ways of responding to the call of God.

  • Bl. Luigi Variara Catholic.Net
    Bl. Luigi Variara Catholic.net PRIEST OF THE SOCIETY OF ST. FRANCIS OF SALES. Roman Martyrology: In the city of Cucuta in Colombia, Blessed Variara, priest of the Society of St. Francis de Sales , who devoted his activity in favor of lepers and founded the Congregation of Sisters Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary ( 1923 ) . Beatification date: April 14, 2002 by by Pope John Paul II. SHORT BIOGRAPHY Blessed Luigi Variara was born in Viarigi (Asti), Italy, on 15 January 1875 and died on 1 February 1923 in Cucuta, Colombia. He was an apostle to the lepers in Colombia and founder of the congregation of the Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary who ran the homes he set up for lepers. He was born to Pietro Variara and Livia Bussa. When he was 12 years old he entered the Salesian Oratory in Turin, while the founder Don Bosco of the Salesian Congregation, was still alive. Luigi had the privilege of meeting this living saint on one occasion, and it was an encounter that changed his life. John Bosco looked into the eyes of the young boy, and this gaze was for Luigi a confirmation of his future Salesian vocation. John Bosco died a month later on January 31,1888. In 1891 he entered the novitiate and shortly afterward he made his profession in the hands of Bl. Michael Rua, Don Bosco's first successor. After his novitiate, Luigi did his study of philosophy at Valsalice and there he met Fr Michele Unia, the Salesian apostle of lepers of Colombia, who had come to speak to the community about his mission.
