are the words of the young Domingo Savio to a colleague who had just arrived at the Oratory of San Francisco de Sales in Turin:
"Here at the house of Don Bosco, we make holiness consist in living very happily."
expression is simple and profound spirituality that saint of young people helped to live in her boys.
In a positive environment of extraordinary familiarity and confidence, Don Bosco proposes to his kids an experience of depth and radical evangelical Christian. In the Oratory, education becomes a real "theological place" for evangelism. Some were unable to grasp, others lived routinely capillary religiosity, but many of his students found in him a spirit teacher who accompanied them on the discovery of God, who focused his life because he was the most precious treasure ever found.
Next to Don Bosco experienced the goodness and mercy of God, they discovered the joy of forgiveness and the greatness of life project beatitudes of the Kingdom. Jesus Christ was his friend , his Word, the way of life, the Eucharist daily strength to live a simple and generous daily delivery.
A holiness to everyone. A proposal of evangelical life that filled the heart with joy and expressed in the overflowing joy, the sense of the party, the responsibility for their own obligations and the concern to do good to others.
Don Bosco did not great educational and pastoral projects. But evangelized evangelizing was accompanied traveling companion and mastered the path of growth and development of their proposing boys, bluntly, a youth ministry of joy and holiness whose only secret was to announce God's life is intimate love and mercy. The rest was a thing of the Spirit.
