Salesian Cooperators – Rome Salesian Cooperators – Rome 2 Official Commentary 2015 on the Project of Apostolic Life Association of Salesian Cooperators Dear Salesian Cooperators, We are living in a time of true Grace from our Lord for our Association and for the entire Salesian Family. Now that the Bicentenary Year of the birth of our Father and Founder Don Bosco has drawn to a close, we prepare ourselves to share, along with the Church Universal, the Holy Year of the Mercy of God that Pope Francis has proclaimed. It is in this atmosphere of reflection on the love of the Father, the salvation brought to us by the Son Redeemer, and the strength that the Holy Spirit pours out on each one of us and on all, that I present to you this “Commentary on the Project of Apostolic Life.” It is an actualization, a dynamic and faithful revision of the former Official Commentary of 1990, in the light of the Project of Apostolic Life ratified by the Salesian Cooperator Congress in 2012. Just like our Project of Apostolic Life, this Commentary is also a fruit of the commitment, hard work, study, and discernment of many Cooperators. A lively “thank you,” therefore, goes to the former World Council: Coordinator, Rosario Maiorano, and the Delegates, Don Stjepan Bolkovac and Sr. Maria Trigila, who initiated an immense task of commenting on each individual article of the Statutes. Afterwards, the members of the World Executive Secretary of the present Cooperator World Council collaborated with much dedication and care in drawing up this final version, thus bringing to completion the revision and organizing the comments in a schematic form, complete with clear references to the most recent Magisterium of the Church and to the documents of the Salesian Family. The Project of Apostolic Life is our “ID card”: it describes the spiritual riches of our vocation and traces our way to sanctity through daily service to the young, to families, to the emarginated, and to the excluded. This Commentary is its necessary complement because it analyzes, chapter by chapter, each individual article and captures each one’s spirit, bringing to the fore the great Gospel inspirations behind the Statutes and their operative and normative translations in the Regulations. This is, therefore, an opportune and fruitful key to understanding which will permit each one of us to interiorize our Project and to give it concrete expression in the life of our Association. Inviting you to give joyful witness to Don Bosco’s original notion of wanting us to be true Salesians in the world, I offer you this helpful aid which will contribute to guaranteeing that we remain living branches grafted on the Vine. With esteem and affection, Rome, January 24, 2016 Feast of St. Francis de Sales 3 Official Commentary 2015 on the Project of Apostolic Life Association of Salesian Cooperators 4 Official Commentary 2015 on the Project of Apostolic Life Association of Salesian Cooperators The intent of the new Project of Apostolic Life is to delineate the identity of the Salesian Cooperator. It not only presents a way to be, to live, to act, and to relate with others, but it is the way to understand one's lay vocation; i.e., one's own "personal plan of life" in Salesian style. The word “vocation” is one key to understand the new Project of Apostolic Life. We are not simply "collaborators" or "benefactors" but laity who feel that they are "called and sent on a concrete mission: to contribute to the salvation of youth, committing themselves to Don Bosco’s very mission to the young and to ordinary folk.” (Project of Apostolic Life, Art. 2). A vocation is a Call and a Grace; it is beyond our possibilities to be its source of inspiration or to create it. The initiative belongs to God. This is a constant of the vocations presented in the Bible and Jesus repeats it: "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you." (Jn. 15:16) Therefore, we must accept and welcome it, give thanks for it, and pray and work; moreover, if we wish to look to the future of the Association, we must have a gaze and a heart which are attentive to the young. They are not only the privileged object of our apostolate – the young are also the protagonists of a new springtime and of a new face for the Salesian Cooperator. Vocation is a path closely tied to maturing in the Faith, in a dialogue with God that lasts for one's entire life. The fundamental condition necessary for it to rise up is to develop one's Christian life in every aspect: truth, apostolate, morals, and prayer. A strong personal faith and a life interiorly bound to Christ are indispensable so that vocations mature in accord with the Word of the Lord. All Salesian Cooperators must become consciously aware of this. Each Community and each Center represents Don Bosco in the area where their members live and work and are appointed to extend the charism and mission of the Salesian Family into the future. Having a Community and a place for the Association are indispensable points of reference. No one has a vocation to isolation; therefore, it is greatly encouraged that all Salesian works organize their educating community, rich in ministries or services for the mission, as a place for convergence. These ought to become places where all the Groups can experience the Salesian charism and mission. The criterion of "come and see" is followed so that the young will be able to welcome and to respond to God’s Call in a responsible way. In many cases an explicit invitation needs to be made. Today’s society no longer conceives of life as vocation and mission. The understanding of their relevance and social significance is scarce today. Points of reference for imagining how one's own life will be in the distant future are confusing, if not discouraging. In some parts of the Church, where it is regarded as an “Institution”, it is presented as an heir to a past of intellectual and moral subjugation. A young person can have a desire to get involved and dedicate him or herself to a task, but this involvement is often oriented towards “Movements” and the causes which are most popular today: peace, ecology, and the poor. The attraction of Christ and a love for Don Bosco will always determine a different direction for them to follow. The Disciples were fascinated by Jesus but understanding that they could follow Him meant they needed to listen to the invitation, "Follow Me!" Perhaps the ability to present, to rouse up enthusiasm for, to point out the steps to take and the conditions necessary, and to invite the young to spread "that energy of charity" to become God's and Don Bosco’s Cooperators needs to be strengthened in our Association. Therefore, we need Cooperators and Formators who know Don Bosco and his charism and who not only understand it but who can also make 5 Official Commentary 2015 on the Project of Apostolic Life Association of Salesian Cooperators proposals as experts in spiritual life. The Project of Apostolic Life clearly points out the privileged field of our apostolic work: the young. It is in this field that we develop and carry out an activity which is very apropos to our vocational proposal: education. Let us frequent those places which can offer interesting stimuli: educating communities. We need to extend the options for involvement in a Project of Apostolic Life which go beyond Salesian works. The Sacred Author states: “Your Word is the lamp unto my feet and the light unto my path.” (Ps. 118:105) God’s Word is a light capable of illuminating the steps along man’s path of life; it makes the way sure because it is a compass which can give direction in the midst of the fog of so many voices and attractions which confuse, disorient, and cause the heart of man to wander far from the right path. By following the Project of Apostolic Life, the Salesian Cooperators share the path traced out by the Gospel and “commit themselves in a responsible manner to this way which brings one to sanctity.” (Project of Apostolic Life Statutes Art. 41) 6 Official Commentary 2015 on the Project of Apostolic Life Association of Salesian Cooperators THE SALESIAN COOPERATOR IN THE SALESIAN FAMILY AND IN THE WORLD «You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and have appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain» (Jn. 15:16) The Holy Spirit raised up Don Bosco. Jesus chose His Disciples and appointed them to bear much fruit, a fruit that would last. As disciples of Jesus and Sons and Daughters of Don Bosco, the Salesian Cooperators are called to bear much fruit. What a great gift and stupendous mission have been entrusted to us! In order to understand the Project of Apostolic Life and to live it authentically, we must allow ourselves to be illuminated by this great Mystery. In a well-known page of the prophet Ezekiel, he describes the wood of the vine. What value does it have? None. The wood of the vine is the only wood from among the trees of the countryside with which one can do nothing; nothing, no useful object, can be made from it. The wood of the vine is good for only one thing: to allow the vital fluid to flow to the branches so they produce fruit; therefore, the wood of the vine is wood useless for anything except to bear fruit.

They are years rich in the wise teachings of our holy Mother, under whose guidance fervor was continuous; years of fast growth in the number of vocations, and of further development evidenced by the opening of twelve more Houses. Trials are not wanting: death is still claiming victims among the young Sisters, yet these occasions bring to light such virtue as to leave no doubt about the supernatural richness of the primitive spirit. As in the preceding volumes, the narrative follows a year by year pattern interspersed with brief indications of the various events, which, as already explained, correspond to the marginal notes of the original manuscript.

  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • Don Bosco and Devotion to Mary, Help of Christians
    Don Bosco’s Devotion to Mary Help of Christians Mamma Margaret and Francis Bosco instilled into their children a strong devotion to Mary, praying the rosary together daily as a family. John made this devotion his and would make the recitation of the rosary one of the cornerstones of his Preventive System. John was devoted to Mary under any title though at various times of his life there was greater emphasis placed on one or the other. Growing up, the primary devotion was to the Immaculate, as the Woman who remained free from the stain of sin, always doing God’s Will. In Chieri, during his first vocation crisis at the end of high school in 1835, John made a novena to know the Lord’s Will, as regarded that vocation, to Our Lady of Grace for it was her painting that adorned one of the altars in the Duomo there. Upon moving to Torino, Our Lady of Consolation was most frequently appealed to since her church was but a stone’s throw from the Oratory and there was an ancient devotion to her in that city. It was before her image that Don Bosco knelt and to her that he entrusted himself, asking her to now “be his mother” upon Mamma Margaret’s death in 1856. Then, revolutionary fever escalated in Italy (or, better, in the many individual kingdoms in what would become Italy in 1870). Rebels began to ask for the unification of Italy, whether peacefully or by force. Kings could give up their smaller kingdoms peacefully in favor of a unified Italy or they would be taken by force, if necessary.

    Vítám tuto knihu, která v řadě medailonů ukazuje sku- tečné rodiny z nedávné doby, které v různých prostředích 40 a různých situacích dovedly jít po svaté cestě. Žádný z těch manželských párů není možné kopírovat. Každý z nich však může inspirovat. A.M.I.M.S. M. A.M.I.M.S. M. Mons. Jan Graubner Původně jsem hledala příklady pro laiky žijící v manželství, pro duchovní obnovy a později začal vycházet seriál Man- želství – cesta ke svatosti v časopise Rodinný život. Reakce mne přesvědčily, že je dobré dát lidem příklady manželů elé 20. století z moderní doby. V knize jsou zahrnuty jak manželské páry, ž tak jednotliví manželé, manželky – kandidáti svatosti. Ča- sové období je rok úmrtí 1950 a dále. Občas jsem udělala vatí man výjimku. Za každým medailonem jsou otázky či podněty S • k možnému přemýšlení, rozjímání, ideálně i společnému. Možná je nebudete potřebovat a položíte si jiné. V kaž- dém případě v životech svatých nejde jen o informace jako o fakta, ale mělo by jít o „in-formace“, o to, co do nás vstoupí a formuje nás.

  • 2. Invitation
    A CONCISE HISTORY OFTHE SALESIAN KOREAN MISSION Michael Chang SDB* 1. Don Bosco arrived before the Salesians Don Bosco was a man who dreamed dreams. His dreams became reality and are still becoming reality. A lot of people think that he had a dream that is connected with the Korean province. The dream concerns the evangelization of Northeast Asia. I will now attempt to say a few words about how that dream became a reality in Korea. If we look at the historical records that we have in our possession, the first Salesian confrere to set foot on Korean soil was the "Don Bosco of the East", the Eastern Interpretation of Don Bosco's Preventive System, the Venerable, Fr. Vincenzo Cimatti. ln 1934, he went to Manchuria to give a concert. At the same time he visited Korea, giving a concert in four cities. After touring Korea, he went back to Japan and wrote an article for the Salesian Bulletin entitled "Don Bosco of Korea." It appeared in the February 3, 1939 edition of the Italian "Bolletino Salesiano". "I went to Korea to give a concert. As I was passing through that land, I saw that the faithful know Don Bosco. The articles that were written about Don Bosco in Japanese were printed in the catholic magazine <KyeongHyang Japji>. Therefore, the Koreans know about Don Bosco and some have even taken the baptismal name of Bosco' Bishop Larribeau of Seoul, who is a member of the French Foreign Mission Society, told me this. St. John Bosco has gone before us into this land".
