Nell’anno 2001 il Corso di Spiritualità dell’Istituto delle Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice (CSFMA) compie anch’esso il suo 25° di esistenza per cui possiamo dire, come già si esprimeva il Prof. Juan Picca, che anche per noi “il frutto più pregiato lo costituiscono le 460 exallieve, provenienti da tutte le parti del mondo”.
Resta che, non membro di una congregazione, non legato da voti, non partecipando quotidianamente alla vita di una comunità locale, non essendo obbligatoriamente insegnante o educatore, il cooperatore, anche assiduo alle riunioni del suo gruppo, anche con mestiere o impegni extra-professionali che lo mettono in relazione con la gioventù o ad agire su di un registro sociale o relazionale, non è simile (paragonabile) al religioso, chierico o coadiutore.
La ricchezza carismatica della spiritualità salesiana pare oggi particolarmente carica di profezia.
In occasione del centenario della morte di Don Bosco (1888-1988) il CNOS ha voluto promuovere alcune iniziative, fra le quali si colloca anche un numero monografico della rivista RASSEGNA CNOS.
The present study aims at sketching the history of the first 20 years of the Salesian Orphanage of Macao (the “Orfanato”), focusing mainly on three problem areas of the first Salesian settlement in China: 1. the charismatic urge that brought the Salesians to Macao; 2. the first painful impact with reality; 3. the role played by the Orfanato in the overall strategy of Salesian expansion.
O encontro deste ano teve como temática a Percepção da imagem de Dom Bosco fora da obra salesiana entre 1879 e 1965.
Si riporta il saluto del Vicario del Rettor Maggiore SDB Don Francesco Cereda in occasione dell’apertura dei lavori del VI Convegno Internazionale di Storia dell’Opera Salesiana.
Questa biografia è un compendio della vita del sac. Caffasso che ho in animo di compilare se il Signore nella sua misericordia mi darà sanità e grazia.
This evaluation focuses more on the content than on the methodology. The seminar helped to improve knowledge of the situation as far as content is concerne which was very interesting.
The present paper, a textual elaboration of the power-point presented at the Batulao Seminar, tries to re-capture the salient moments in the history of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA) in Timor (and Indonesia) from their arrival up to the present day. Our presence in this land is rather recent considering that we arrived in Timor only in 1988.
This contribution to the Salesian History Seminar on the implantation of the Salesian charism in the EAO region has great significance for the Vice-Province “Mary Help of Christians” of Vietnam, which will celebrate 50 years of the presence of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in 2011.
The 12th General Chapter of the Caritas Sisters of Miyazaki (SCM) held in September 2004, had for its scope the clarification of the charismatic and spiritual identity of the Institute and the renewal of its life and form of government.
In recent years our Congregation of the Caritas Sisters of Miyazaki, especially the Province of Korea, experiences a fresh interest in the origins of our charism. The sisters talk about the primary importance of prayer and the secondary value of daily work.
The paper sheds light on the contribution of the FMA to the advance of the Salesian spirit in China through their availability, sacrifice, indomitable courage in facing severe challenges and above all their fidelity to the spirit of “Da mihi animas, cetera tolle” by offering to youth and the needy services in keeping with the charism of the institute and in response to the needs of the place and time.
The Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (SIHM) would like to acknowledge the invitation to contribute to the Seminar of EAO on “Implantation of the Salesian Charism in the Region: Ideals, Challenges, Answers and Results”. Being a member of the Salesian Family, we too are eager to study and know more about this precious gift.
