A Salesian Way of Life (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This text is offered to all who find themselves
at home with Salesian spirituality,
whatever their Church or faith background.
While in some ways it is similar to the rule of life
to which many vowed Salesians commit themselves,
the Salesian Way of Life will find a home
with so many more people.
Whether single or married, in family life
or at work, alone or with others,
this way of life provokes deeper spiritual reflection
on experience.
St Francis de Sales,
the patron of all Salesian spirituality,
believed that the awareness of the mystery of God
could be a continuous source of strength
and meaning in all the events of a person's life.
Such awareness leads to greater resilience
and balance in life.
Those of us who struggle with the busyness of life
will find in Salesian spirituality an inner strength
awakened through the ordinary events of life.
This way of Don Bosco is therefore an invitation
to explore your own spiritual depths,
not in the reflections of deep theology
but in the daily routines and thought patterns
of each day.
It is offered to you as part of our celebrations
for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Don Bosco.
He made this spirituality available to those
who worked with the young
but it applies to all relationships and to individuals.
The spirituality you find described here is outgoing,
optimistic, gentle and ordinary.
May it strengthen your resilience
and increase your commitment
to build a better world.
Fr Martin Coyle SDB
(Provincial of the Salesian GBR Province)
