La notizia principale che ho da darvi è l’elezione fatta del nuovo Prefetto Generale della nostra Pia Società. Il vuoto lasciato attorno a me dalla perdita dell’indimenticabile Don Belmonte, di sempre cara memoria, è grande, e non era assolutamente possibile lasciare per lungo tempo scoperto quel posto, che egli con tanta competenza teneva, senza che le cose nostre ne soffrissero gravi danni.

Il contributo illustra l’importanza dello studio del Latino, sin dall’età giovanile dell’individuo, in quanto veicolo di apprendimento di categorie inerenti la lingua e il pensiero quali sono state tramandate dai suoi parlanti, non solo dall’età classica e medioevale, ma anche in tempi moderni, perché il Latino costituisce ancora in parte la lingua della poesia e della scienza.

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

It will then examine how this identity has been applied.

Joseph Boenzi – “What is salesian in Don Bosco?” in “Journal of Salesian studies”

Autori Vari,Fabio Attard – “Capitolo 2: Dal Cristo evangelizzatore alla chiesa evangelizzatrice” in “La pastorale giovanile salesiana”

Un’aggiornata impostazione della Pastorale Giovanile Salesiana richiede una riflessione non solo di tipo carismatico ma di tipo teologico.

Sabino Frigato – “Educazione ed evangelizzazione. La riflessione della Congregazione salesiana nel Postconcilio” in “Evangelizzazione e educazione”

Lo studio che viene proposto prende in esame “quanto” e “come” la Congregazione salesiana, a partire dal Concilio Vaticano II a oggi, ha riflettuto sulla natura della sua missione educativa e pastorale tra i giovani. Punto di partenza di questa indagine è il CG19 celebratosi nella primavera del 1965 a lavori conciliari ancora in corso. Negli Atti del CG la Congregazione esprime in modo netto la propria identità educativa consolidata dalla tradizione salesiana e sintetizzabile nello slogan formare “buoni cristiani e onesti cittadini”.

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. Drawing out its implications, the topic can be articulated in three focal points, implied in the very title, that is, “Salesian charism,” “South Asia,” and finally, the issue of the “Encounter…”.
