Aguinaldo Salesian Rector Major of the Salesians for 2,011 years

Italia, Roma,2010.-  

The Rector Major Aguinaldo in 2011 will be a heartfelt appeal to the Salesian Family to feel the urgency, the need to convene and offer young people the Salesian vocation. "Behold the Lamb of God ... do you seek? ... Maestro, where you live? Come and see "(Jn 1.36-39) is the slogan next message of the successor of Don Bosco.
As usual in the last few years, at the opening plenary session of the General Council estiva, Don Pascual Chávez officially launched the theme for next year Aguinaldo. As already announced on several circumstances, the bonus issue of 2011 will be on vocation. An invitation Don Chavez says, "to be true for young spiritual leaders, like John the Baptist who said Jesus to his disciples saying," Behold the Lamb of God "(Jn 1, 36)."
evangelization and vocation are two inseparable elements. The ability to cultivate vocations, as specified by the Rector Major is a "test of authenticity of an effective evangelization and the ability to raise up vocations." Such continuity is an encouragement not to consider terminating the roads and the work arising from the Aguinaldo "Sir, we see Jesus - in imitation Don Rua, as passionate authentic disciples and apostles carry the Gospel to young people. "


2011 Presentation of Aguinaldo

a historical fact, confirmed by the four evangelists, is that since the beginning of his work of evangelization (cf. MC 1, 14 - 15), Jesus called some people to follow him (cf. Mk 1, 16-20). His first disciples became known as' peers around the time when Jesus lived among us, beginning with the baptism of John until the day that, being with us ascended into heaven "(Acts 1: 21-22).

evangelization and vocation are thus two inseparable elements. We could even say that a criterion of authenticity for an effective evangelization is its ability to cultivate vocations to mature evangelical life projects, to involve all the persons of being evangelized to make them disciples and apostles.

Aguinaldo
After 2010, "Sir, we see Jesus" on the urgent need to evangelize, make an earnest call to experience the Salesian Family urgency, the need to convene .
Dear brothers and sisters, all members of the Salesian Family, I invite you therefore to be true spiritual guides for young people, like John the Baptist that Jesus tells his disciples saying "Behold the Lamb of God ! (Jn 1, 36), so that they can go after him, until the moment when Jesus, realizing that it still speaks directly to them with the question: "What seek ye?" and they, with the deep desire to know who this Jesus, I ask "Rabbi, where live? " (Jn 1, 38), and Master invites you to make a living experience with Him: " Come and see ". Have experienced something immensely beautiful when the disciples "were, saw where he lived and stayed with him" (Jn 1, 39).



This is the way I propose pedagogical go:

1. Return to Don Bosco
  • Make our expertise in Valdocco, which creates an atmosphere of familiarity, of high spiritual value of apostolic and spiritual accompaniment, supported by an immense love for the Church and the world.
  • express the beauty, timeliness and variety of our Salesian vocation: a life devoted entirely to God in the service of youth worth living.
  • live one's own life and help them understand the lives of others as a vocation and mission. All as a great gift lived in the centrality of God in the brotherhood of dedicated and delivery to the poor and needy youth.
2. To become Don Bosco to the youth of today
  • Be aware and make evident the centrality of those enshrined in the implementation of the Salesian mission. This has been the conviction and the experience of Don Bosco.
  • Create, as in Valdocco, a vocational culture characterized by her search for meaning in life, in the horizon of transcendence, sustained and driven by deep values, as a matter of design activities to a culture of brotherhood and solidarity.
  • Ensure quality support through personal life, education for love and chastity, responsibility towards history, the initiation prayer, apostolic commitment.
  • Salesian Youth Movement Making a privileged place for vocational discernment: it's young people experience and express a stream of communion around the person of Don Bosco and the values \u200b\u200bof their pedagogy and the Salesian Youth Spirituality they develop and mature volunteer life projects.

As my personal contribution I would like to leave this thought:

... "Come and see." (Jn 1.39)

1 .- Jesus from the beginning sought the company of people, yet only a few .- called (Mark 1:16-20); .- Seeking of many to share their concerns quienesw , .- I am looking first of all FRIENDS. 2 .- The

call (invitation) was born on fellowship for an ideal that in principle it was FREEDOM (The Truth will set you free). Fellowship that true friendship is born (no purer love than to lay down his life for his friends.) True Friendship is born COMMITMENT.

This Aguinaldo us brings the invitation to all the Salesian Family. The need to call (Come and see ...)

But Come and See what? How

Juan Bautista, venagan and see the Lamb of God.

The invitation comes with our commitment, our particular lifestyle, our way of taking the daily challenge of our lives.

this daily challenge what we assume so for love of our friend "John Bosco" whom we presnt to the Greatest of all a friend Jesus.

presnt us what "not to shock, if not verddero love ..." (Dream of 9 years), the love that commits, making real friends, friends, endless ... Starting

Love must convince of it, invite our friends to know our Great Friend JESUS \u200b\u200bRISEN.

for?

To see how happy is that to live like Him
To know where that happiness arises, to find his house to know where you live? ...

Today the invitation of the Rector Mayorestá more alive than ever ... COME AND SUMMER ... "

happily encourage one to undertake this journey of discovery of the risen Jesus Friendship Eteerna.

We thus Salesian spirit, make Nuesto VALDOCCO Oratorio, says Don Pasquale, the courtyard where friendship was cultivated and planted the joy, the spirit of brotherly love, family united in prayer deeply glad that John taught us.

This sense of sharing and friendship therefore must be stripped of all personal selfishness. So we should and we are obliged to share this joy, then, that it will be joy if not shared??.

Joy turns to grief if we are not who laugh ..

So there we need to call to encourage others to share together the joy of living this vocation in the style of Don Bosco.

The Pope explained that "while fulfilling the work to inform, Catholic newspapers develop an irreplaceable work of formation " with responding to" educational challenge "proposed by the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI) for the next decade, which aims to" give the people a solid Christian and robust. "
The reasons of faith "beyond any ideological vision and have full citizenship rights in the public debate" and this "requirement" comes the duty of Catholic editors "to give voice to a view that respected Catholic thought in all ethical and social issues. "
"In the context of post-modernity in which we live, one of the most important cultural challenge concerns how to understand the truth," said Pope, who said that given the dominant culture as possible and legitimate, but many truths "The desire present in the human heart shows the inability to be content with partial truths."
"The truth of the thirsty man is a person: Mr. Jesus", as Benedict XVI urged the media to "serve with courage the truth to help the public to look and read the reality from an evangelical point of view. " Via
