Gustavo Fabian Cavagnari – “Salesian youth ministry and family in the light of Amoris Laetitia” in “Journal of Salesian Studies”
In these pages I would like to reflect on youth ministry with a special focus on family. I hope that, by the end of this reflection no one could say that most of the considerations made were on family ministry rather than on youth ministry. Nevertheless, I think we cannot have a different approach to the subject – youth ministry – when as Church and as Congregation we have had recently at least three magisterial indications in that direction: the letter of the Holy Father on the bicentennial of the birth of St. John Bosco, his apostolic exhortation on love in the family, and the 2017 Strenna of the Rector Major.

Pietro Ricaldone – Atti del Capitolo superiore della Società salesiana
Don Ricaldone comunica alcune notizie di famiglia: gli Esercizi Spirituali si fecero dappertutto in modo edificante. Appariva chiaro che ognuno era profondamente compreso della gravità dell’ora presente e sentiva il bisogno di rafforzare il sentimento della propria responsabilità, rinnovando fermi propositi di volere ad ogni costo mantenersi fedele nell’osservanza e degno in tutto di San Giovanni Bosco.
