ERA WITH THE POPE'S DAY EASTER SUNDAY

My dear friends:
just a few weeks ago I was in Valdocco and had the opportunity to have a whole morning to be quiet, reflect and pray in the chapel Pinardi. I could not help but feel, as so often when you come home after a long time, an emotion without limit to remember our history, our origins and, above all, our father.
all started in a shed . Today, the chapel Pinardi recalls with a great fresco of the risen on the front of the little church that Sunday in April, when Don Bosco and his boys arrived that place was Easter . He reminds himself in the Memoirs of the Oratory:
"I gathered the kids around me and I screamed in a loud voice:" Cheer, boys, we have a more stable Oratorio in the past, we have church, sacristy , rooms for classes and field to play. On Sunday we will go to the new Oratory is Pinardi back home, 'and I pointed out the place (...) The following Sunday, the feast of Passover, April 12, we moved all the furniture of the church and games, to take possession of new location. " Don Bosco recalled
well that time. It was Easter. As if of a rebirth it were, as the Risen Christ, freed from the bonds of death, opened again in two sea to Don Bosco and his boys, crossing to the other side, the promised land arrived : Valdocco was the fulfillment of the dream, the place appointed by God to carry out their work liberating for young people neglected and in danger.
And the truth is that Salesian spirituality, born to the thread of life in those years of significant action of the Spirit is deeply Easter. is a spirituality of the new life of joy and celebration, confidence in the Father, the opportunity - If present - to restart for those boys who have lost expectations in the margins of history.
spirituality is really close to reality but profound and deep roots. Simple in form but with the freshness of someone who drinks every day in the most authentic sources of encounter with the Risen Christ in the Eucharist, the Word, in dedication to those most in need .
So Don Bosco raised his boys . So we live all we have breathed the air of the Salesian charism. He remembered a few days before the Risen Christ imposing temple presided over Don Bosco Becchi. Just about where Don Bosco was born Risen image reminds us that God sent a man, whose name was John, and made it liberating good news for young people of all time and history, history of salvation.
As a new creation, the Salesian is the fulfillment of God's promise. His son has invited us to the banquet of the Kingdom and has made us new people.
Today, the Salesians and stewards who share the spirit and mission of San Juan Bosco, as witnesses of the Risen Christ we are committed to support young people to join new land flowing with milk and honey.
in a few days when we celebrate Easter, let us not forget that there are new ways by walking, with the young, to the stature of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Life . Good
week. Good Lord's Passover.

One Swollen Tonsil Allergy



My dear friends
Palm Sunday 1846 was on 5 April. In those days Don Bosco was thinking about giving a stable home to her fledgling Oratorio . Time was running out without finding a solution after recent failed attempts. Filippi Meadow rent does not work. They had to leave the place weeks later because the owner had given an ultimatum to the destruction of every Sunday. had driven from all over and closed doors where he had called in the hope of a positive response.
The difficulty, uncertainty and loneliness of those moments he narrated them with great harshness in the Annals of Oratory:


"Looking at the crowd of children and youth, I thought of the rich harvest that waiting for my priest and I felt my heart burst with pain. He was alone, without help, almost without strength and health has weakened, and he did not know where to bring my poor boys. To hide my pain, wandered lonely places. I remember being filled eyes with tears ... Then, lifting into the sky, I begged: "Oh my God! Show me a place where you can meet on Sunday with my kids or tell me what to do .... "

These words were written much later, but reveal the suffering of hard moments that were marked in your mind and heart that Sunday of passion.
Alone, without help, almost no strength ... An extreme situation that Don Bosco lived intensely to the point of experience great heartache . He felt, perhaps, that all efforts were in vain and that the weak work just started could end soon but could have done anything about it.
knew he could only lift his eyes to heaven : "Tell me, my God, I have to do ...."
There was no angel. Only a man named Pancracio Soave, on behalf of Mr. Pinardi him an unexpected offer:

- "I heard that the priest is looking for a place to a lab ... I know one. The porch of a friend of mine called Pinardi. Rent it for 300 lire a year, with contract ...

Finally a roof. A shed walls in poor condition, a lot ... the first roots. Almost five years Don Bosco take to buy the house and adjacent land Pinardi, but the seed was planted. God heard. And Don Bosco began to feel firmer ground underfoot.
Sunday was his particular passion in that distant 1846. But Don Bosco learned to rely increasingly on Providence in every experience of tentativeness, of abandonment, difficulty, solitude. God always opened the road and indicated a new path.
rightly, that Palm Sunday, after so many uncertainties, could tell his boys smiling and excited: "On Sunday we'll have our own place for the Oratory! ". April 12, 1846, Don Bosco took Pinardi Shed. Your new home. Our Porziuncola. That day was the beginning of a new journey. It was Easter Resurrection.

How To Determine Gf Breast Size

RAMOS IN TURIN IS THE MOTHER CHURCH ...

My dear friends all know
Don Bosco's love for Mother of the Lord invoked as Consolation, Immaculate and - above all - help of Christians. So he lived from very small so I sent Becchi and his boys at the Oratory when Mary was felt as home, the mother of all the days that never abandons his children.
At full maturity of his work for poor youth, a few years after the first steps of the Salesians, the saint of Turin conceived the project of building a large church dedicated to Mary Help . Will be, tell your boys, the Mother Church of the Congregation.
But where will draw resources? As recognized by one night in 1862 one of his boys, Paul Albera, "I have a penny, I do not know where to get the money, but that does not matter. If God wills it will ". Once again
sleep and confidence. Once again the tenacity to projects that seem unattainable for those who have enthusiasm and good cheer but empty pockets. Yet the dreamer is certain that the company held because "the Lord wills" . Like a pact with eternity it were, Don Bosco performs his "business" to the dictates of a project that seems to verge on the supernatural . That same year, 1862, John Cagliero - another of his boys of the Oratory - Don Bosco admits that he spoke about his project. His testimony was contained in the Biographical Memoirs:

In 1862 Don Bosco told me he thought building a great church and worthy of the Blessed Virgin.
- So far, he said, we solemnly celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate. But the Virgin wants the honor with the title of Mary Help of Christians, are very sad times and we need the Holy Virgin help us to preserve and defend the Christian faith. You know why?
- I - I answered - that will be the "mother church" of our future congregation, and the center where will all our work for youth.
- You guessed it, I said, Mary is the founder and will be a great supportive of our work. "

And it was. In 1863 work began and in 1868 was consecrated the new basilica dedicated to Mary Help . Like Don Bosco said on many occasions, the Virgin thought that the money arrived. Of course not without great effort by the Don Bosco himself.
Miracle or not, the fact is that audacity in undertaking major projects and the certainty of God's help, drove the work of our father who is not saved - however - hardships and sacrifices to reach out to Providence.
"I have a penny ..." . How many times would repeat this scene? is the fate of the poor who always hopes and who has decided to rely on new roads in whispers dreams for those who walk with courage and a dash of daring.

How To Treat O Knock To The Knee

Raise your eyes and look upwards

My dear friends Don Bosco
wrote in 1847 a manual of prayer for his boys of the Oratory. The title "The young educated" and was a constant reference in the life and future Valdocco Salesian Congregation for generations. It was not just a manual, but also contained a proposal spiritual where our father expressed his understanding of Christian life for young people.
In the prologue, Don Bosco wrote:

"Dear friends, I love you with all my heart and that you are young enough for me to wish you a lot (...) Raise your eyes, my children and look towards the top ...."

is neither more nor less, than a proposal youthful holiness. A very spiritual way in connection with the lives of boys, most of every day, very close to everyday reality. Don Bosco did not require large "practices of piety" to the boys of the Oratory, but always taught to make the ordinary something extraordinary "was a proposal inviting look up to fix our eyes on God .
"Lift upward gaze is realizing that God's presence permeates daily life by giving a new meaning and different. You look up land, per square meter that sometimes overwhelms us so much, that which does not let us live in peace and robs us of peace of heart, what disturbs us or not let us be truly free. is, above all, experience the closeness of God who loves us and we always said that achieving full horizon.
For Don Bosco, spirituality is easy to everyday experience God's closeness , in his merciful goodness, their concern for us.
Is not that what you taught Margarita Mama Becchi ? When you sit at the front door on the nights of summer, with John just a child, inviting him to look upward, to gaze at the sky to help you understand that God is a good father who in his infinite goodness lit the stars every night for us. That humble peasant
grew convinced that "a piece of paradise fixes everything." There was always a star to watch, to admire the sky, a thank you whisper in the silence of the night because God is always worried about his boys and never left. was sure, however strong the winds blow, unshakable confidence in God lit always so new reality.
was precisely this "providential love" of God experiment many times in your life, that Don Bosco wanted to convey to their kids. In "The young educated" in their spirituality, the primacy is always God and love of the Father .
always points to what is important. In our own experience of faith, in our proposal for faith development for our youth, we never lose sight of where it is essential: Salesian youth spirituality is a simple way to sainthood in which we learn, from life daily, to always look upward, to raise their eyes towards God. And there's a thank heaven for that every night, so providence.

Candida And Pregnancy



In July 1854 the city of Turin available to deal with a cholera epidemic that threatened to havoc, especially among the population weak and unprotected. Since the government is giving instructions for the prevention so that they can cope with the disease in the best possible sanitary conditions.
Inevitably, in late July, the epidemic began to hit the slums easily spread throughout the city. Don Bosco had housed
home to nearly a hundred boys and did everything that was in their power to retain the Oratorio hygiene and the boys could be preserved against the deadly disease.
But he quickly realized that was not enough. He could not stay locked in his house ensures the care of their kids while there were people dying and suffering unspeakable. Once again, the poor home channel is solidarity and Don Bosco decided to propose to his boys join the volunteer movement that is being organized throughout the city. One day he told his kids:

Who wants to come and help with cholera?

After the initial surprise, a group of street kids who decided to step forward trusting the word of Don Bosco: anyone attack so bad that we entrust to the Virgin and try to to live in the grace of God. And a few more safety and hygiene standards have great faith in God, were launched with incredible generosity. Solidarity
true of boys of Don Bosco . Do not speculate. They trusted the father only, and with it, put their trust in God and in the maternal mediation Mother of the Lord. We do not know how many there were or their names. But among them were Michael Rua, Cagliero and Juan Luis Anfossi, all teenagers between fourteen and seventeen. The three form part, years later the group - with Don Bosco - founded the Salesian Congregation.
None of them, one at the Oratory, was beaten by disease. No one was infected. It fulfilled the promise of Don Bosco. The work of the boys was outstanding. The newspaper L'Armonia, spent a small chronic youth of the Oratory in its edition of September 16:

"In the spirit of his father more that superior, Don Bosco, come boldly to the cholera patients, inspiring courage and confidence, not only with words but with facts cogiéndoles hands, making friction, without seeing horror or fear. Moreover, entering the house of a cholera patient target the terrified people, inviting them to withdraw if they fear, while they deal with everything necessary. "

Everyone in the city admired his courage and generous. And in the Don Bosco school, learn to make solidarity lifestyle, faith reason for the surrender and trust in Providence an apostolic zeal and daring. Like father, like son.
