La Pastoral Juvenil Salesiana requiere la convergencia de las intenciones y de las convicciones por parte de todos aquellos que están implicados en el proyecto y en la realización de la Comunidad Educativo-Pastoral, espacio donde aquella se ejerce. En este capítulo expondremos su identidad comunitaria, sus dinamismos, su estilo de corresponsabilidad y las modalidades de animación de su crecimiento. De igual forma, la comunidad está llamada a invertir en la fi gura del educador salesiano.
El sentido último del plan de Dios es la vida plena y la felicidad de los seres humanos. El Evangelio de Cristo tiene gran confi anza en lo humano. Es necesaria la atención a la realidad única de cada persona y la disponibilidad a acoger su vocación y destino en Cristo, “hombre perfecto”.
Salesian Youth Ministry requires agreement of purpose and conviction on the part of all those involved in the planning and implementation of the Educative-Pastoral Community. In this chapter we shall examine the community identity, how it works, the style of shared responsibility and the way it is animated. The community is called to invest in the fi gure of the Salesian educator. In trying to discern and renew each activity and work, we look to the Salesian style, the “oratory criterion” that connects us with the practical insights of the charism (our way of living together in communion) which have become part of our shared patrimony, and are applicable to all contexts where Salesians operate. Importance is given to the way we offer signs of the Gospel in everyday life, and the way we cultivate authentic relationships and
communication.
Fullness of life and the happiness of human beings is the ultimate purpose of the plan of God. The Gospel of Christ shows great trust in humanity. It demands that we pay attention to the unique reality of every person and their willingness to accept their vocation and destiny in Christ, the perfect man. The Gospel proposes the good news (the person of Christ) who invites everyone to share in Christ’s sonship, the foundation of the freedom and dignity of every person. Don Bosco educated and evangelised by carrying out a project of holistic development. He saw education as the growth of the person, with all the means necessary to assist the person. Evangelisation inspires people to the fullness of life offered in Jesus and enlightens them in its pursuit, always respecting the developing conscience of each person. Finally, regarding the choice of fi eld of ministry, we are sent to the poor, especially the poorest, and to ordinary class environments, where we seek to humanise and evangelise the culture.
