(ANS \u2013 Madrid)<\/strong> \u2013 Once again, this year, the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA) in Spain are offering a unique spiritual experience to hundreds of teenagers and young adults in their country: the Salesian Easter. These meetings will be held in different parts of Spain from Holy Thursday (28 March) to Easter Sunday (31 March).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 2,000 people, in most cases aged between 16 and 25, will take part in these meetings. Leaders and Salesians will accompany the young people during these days, organizing moments of prayer, group work, personal reflections, and the religious celebrations of the Easter Triduum \u2013 at the center of the Christian liturgical year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Easter meetings are part of the Curriculum of Education for the Faith, and are therefore mainly aimed at young people from Salesian groups and anyone who wants to celebrate Easter in a deep climate of faith and in a youthful atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A dream of love without limits”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the common motto “A dream of love without limits”, in line with the celebration of the Bicentenary of Don Bosco’s Childhood Dream, the SDB and FMA have put it to young people for Easter 2024 that they contemplate Jesus as the way, truth and life throughout the Easter Triduum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let those who are about to celebrate and live this new Easter open their hearts to listen to the Lord, thus discovering the dream that he has for each of us” is the exhortation spread by the organizing team of the “Salesian Easter “. Let us ask God that, helped by the power of his Spirit, we may respond generously to his call to live – starting from an authentic and boundless Love – the vocation he has given to each of us.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salesian Easter hymn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the resources distributed for the Salesian Easter experience, it is worth mentioning a hymn-like song that bears the same title as the motto: “Un sue\u00f1o de amor sin l\u00edmites” (A dream of love without limits<\/em>). The author of the text, with a message full of hope, is Javi V\u00e1zquez, Coordinator of Youth Ministry of Salesian work in Mor\u00f3n de la Frontera. His song is available on digital platforms such as Spotify, Youtube, Amazon Music and iTunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities during Lent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church has always proposed Lent as a way to prepare for Easter. In the various Salesian circles, countless activities have been proposed in this regard, such as pilgrimages, experiences of solidarity, and Christian commitment or retreats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theatre shows and processions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some Salesian houses, then, on the days around Easter, plays on the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ are performed. Particularly noteworthy are “Gethseman\u00ed” (in Utrera and Puertollano, for example) and “La Pasi\u00f3n” (Huesca), among others. In addition, in cities such as Alcal\u00e1 de Guada\u00edra, Algeciras, Alicante, Arcos de la Frontera, Cadiz, Ciudad Real, Cordoba, Elche, Granada, Huesca, Jerez de la Frontera, La L\u00ednea, Matar\u00f3, Malaga, Montilla, Mor\u00f3n de la Frontera, Palma del R\u00edo, Pozoblanco, San Jos\u00e9 del Valle, Seville, \u00dabeda and Utrera, the traditional processions will take place from 24 to 31 March, with an approximate number of some 30,000 people involved, starting from the members of the numerous confraternities that animate these traditional manifestations of popular piety and Christian faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shared experience on social networks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just as Salesian Easter recovers, values and relaunches ancient traditions, at the same time it has firmly come into the present and is projected into the future, thanks to its presence in the digital world. The organisers of the various initiatives recall the invitation to share the respective experiences of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord in Salesian environments on social networks. #PascuaSalesiana is the suggested hashtag.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
