Pascual Chavez Villanueva – “«You are a letter from Christ, written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God». News and reflections on recent journeys” in “Acts of the General Council of the Salesian Society of St John Bosco”

The letter expresses solidarity with Salesian missionaries facing challenges in Africa and emphasizes the transformative power of the Gospel in building communities of faith. It announces a shift in communication format to alternate between doctrinal reflections and presentations of the Congregation’s regions.
