Il cardinale Ballestrero, noto per la solidità degli interventi magisteriali (omelie, predicazioni di esercizi spirituali, discorsi diversi), non scriveva i suoi testi: i suoi discorsi erano frutto di una previa meditazione interiore, una vera e propria ruminatio, dalla quale scaturiva un discorso fecondo e profondo. Il presente studio si fonda, dunque, su alcune trascrizioni fatte da registrazioni dal vivo: la lettera pastorale al clero della diocesi di Torino San Giovanni Bosco, sacerdote di Cristo e della Chiesa (1988); due omelie fatte in Maria Ausiliatrice il 31 gennaio 1988 e 1989; un corso di esercizi spirituali agli Ispettori Salesiani del 1987: Don Bosco prete per i giovani.

Andrea Bozzolo – “La «forma di santità» di don Bosco. Lettura teologica delle deposizioni nei processi di beatificazione e canonizzazione” in “Sapientiam dedit illi. Studi su Don Bosco e sul carisma salesiano”

Lo studio ha lo scopo di delineare la forma di santità che emerge nei processi di beatificazione e canonizzazione di san Giovanni Bosco attraverso un’ermeneutica teologica delle deposizioni fatte dai testimoni. Con l’espressione forma di santità si intende mettere inevidenza due elementi strettamente uniti: la natura della santità cristiana (la sua identità teologale) e la sua espressione del tutto originale nel vissuto del singolo santo. La santità è l’incontro riuscito tra l’infinita novità di Dio e la libertà di un soggetto storico che si apre alla forza rinnovatrice dell’evento pasquale e accetta di diventare un “uomo nuovo”.

Anthony Nguyen – “God as father and Don Bosco as father” in “Journal of Salesian Studies”

Don Bosco is a saint who is honored as the “father and teacher” of the youth. However, we may be curious to ask ourselves: In what sense do we understand the term “father” as it is attributed or applied to Don Bosco? Surely, it is not in “biological” sense of the word.

The article of Fr. Arthur Lenti is very well documented, succinct, and concise. In my response, I would like to focus on two points.
