John Rasor – “The salesian brother’s spiritual identity” in “Journal of Salesian studies”

This study will look at how the Salesian brother’s vocation appears in official Salesian writings while Don Bosco was founding the Salesian Congregation, and at how the Congregation has theologically reflected on that vocation as part of its renewal of its Constitutions. It will then examine how this identity has been applied.

Giuseppe Morante – “Bilancio conclusivo” in “La spiritualità salesiana in un mondo che cambia”

L’estratto riflette su due visioni divergenti riguardo all’evoluzione della spiritualità salesiana. La prima visione evidenzia che la spiritualità salesiana sembra aver perso parte dello specifico carisma originale di Don Bosco a causa dell’adattamento alle diverse culture e alle indicazioni del Concilio Vaticano II.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – “From Christ the evangeliser to the evangelising church” in “Salesian Youth Ministry”

An updated presentation of Salesian Youth Ministry requires refl ection not only of a charismatic type but also of a theological nature. Youth Ministry as an activity of the ecclesial community demands of us a deep theological and ecclesiological study. This chapter expounds three basic convictions: Jesus Christ, the evangeliser who proclaimed communion with God  and communion between people (fraternal love), is the full revelation of God as a community of love. The Church is the mystery of Communion and mission, animated and sustained by the  Spirit of God. The Salesian Congregation shares the Church’s evangelising mission, with a  specific option for the young.

Dominic Veliath – “Encounter of the salesian charism. South Asian context” in “Journal of Salesian Studies”

The theme of this reflection, entitled: “Encounter of the Salesian Charism: South Asian Context, is self-explanatory.

I will place special emphasis on the Salesian Oratory, Sliema.
