The creative genius of Don Bosco is not contained in Valdocco. Will live forever educational and pastoral insights of beginnings, but his spirit will continue to develop creatively seeking new fronts for to continue to meet the needs of young people of his time.
Indeed, the work of Don Bosco advances and evolves. After the founding of the Congregation and the consolidation of the first houses outside Turin, the Salesian project opens new horizons. Since 1870, the inauguration of new schools in different towns of Italy enable new perspectives to the educational activities of the fledgling congregation.
Some think that these years represent a turning point in the Salesian project starts an unstoppable "colegización" . You may be surprised to learn that schools are adopted with full consent of Don Bosco that he sees new opportunities in the pastoral work of the Salesians with adolescents and youth in the area of \u200b\u200bformal education. is aware of the "educational emergency" in Italy and in Europe and gets down to work in school receiving an appropriate venue for their goals.
remains intact for the purpose of the Congregation and Don Bosco does not waive work with poor youth. But probably sensed that commitment to the civic schools dear Italian municipalities marked a new era and are an important service to other forms of "danger" to young people industrial society permanently change. Don Bosco himself
drives some of these schools by providing many of the means at its disposal and its best men. Always at the forefront, the holy Turin try to translate his preventive system also educational activities with the middle classes, convinced of the possibility of helping young people into society as good citizens and good Christians, capable of transforming and creative impulse enough to bring forth a new social reality.
century and a half later, renew our commitment to the school because we believe, with Don Bosco, the identity of a platform educational and pastoral capacity to generate changes in the XXI century. Salesian School, heir to those early Piedmont civic schools in the last quarter of the nineteenth century assumed by Don Bosco, are called to be an educational emergency response to translating the great insights of the saint of young people from the commitment quality and a committed evangelical action in complex societies and pluralistic, democratic and free the old continent.

In early 1872 Don Bosco was recovering in the town of Varazze of the painful disease that had been bedridden for more than three months away, then, of his beloved Oratorio de San Francisco de Sales. Despite having been at death's door, his mind was always in Turin, his heart, in the midst of his boys. In February he wrote to Don Rua expressing his desire to be home soon:

"Next Thursday, God willing, I will be in Turin. I feel a great need to reach. I live here with the body, but my heart, my thoughts and even my words are always at the Oratory, among you. "

This is Don Bosco. Always "among young people" while you are away for a thousand reasons. It is true that as the Salesian extended and assumed new fronts for Don Bosco was obliged to be more and more time away from Turin. However, I always longed to return, always a fond memory for all, always the desire to get the pulse of daily life among the tasks of the parent.

Where occupations are permitted, returning to the Oratory Don Bosco. And if he was at home throughout the day was thoroughly used to be with his Salesians and their boys, confessed, was in the yard, had a word for all, was good night, was attending the monthly exercise of good death (retirement), he lectured at the Salesian and young ... Do not stop!

In a good night of March 31, 1876, as recorded in his chronicle Barberis Don, Don Bosco insisted his boys:

"Take this in your head. Although I look like I'm busy, I am always very happy when you come to get me in church or outside it ... "

And is that Don Bosco, despite the years, he was always happy in the midst of their kids. Especially strong was his involvement in the important moments in the life of the house parties of the Virgin, liturgical seasons, the month of May, the spiritual exercises ... His pastoral zeal led him to spend hours in the confessional to prepare sermons, to have "memories" of the spiritual exercises, to engage each other so that everything went well.

I have no doubt that Don Bosco is "here in our midst", in each of our homes. And his experience remains for us Valdocco charismatic criterion of fidelity to the sources. Return to Don Bosco is back to youth. Also physically: present in the court, involved in the life of the house, by word and gesture appropriate to the coming on, with the warm smile and kind eyes to all.

"Near or far, I always think in you ", tell Don Bosco in the Charter of Rome, 1884. It was the expression of his life. As stressed Don Rua, his closest associate and one of his early youth in the Oratorio, "It gave way, did not utter a word, would not commit to any business that did not have as its object the salvation of youth ... I just really interested him were the souls. "

Valdocco Back to us also. Like Don Bosco, always among the young. With the mind, heart, with the word. Regain our homeland.
