The Rector Major, Fr \u00c1ngel Fern\u00e1ndez Artime, with his renewed General Council, will find ways to ensure that all the scheduled topics and deliberations can be addressed later.\u00a0But above all the “spirit” of this Chapter will remain in everyone’s memory.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis underlined this in his message: \u201cThe\u00a0Valdocco option<\/em>\u00a0of your 28th General Chapter is a good opportunity to confront the sources and ask the Lord:\u00a0Da mihi animas, cetera tolle<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0This requires, on our part, to overcome the fears and apprehensions that may arise.\u00a0Faithful living of the charism is something richer and more stimulating than the simple abandonment, retreat or readjustment of houses or activities;\u00a0it involves a change of mentality in the face of the mission to be accomplished \u201d.<\/p>\n

Nor can we forget the words of the young people present in the Chapter: \u201cSalesians, do not forget us young people because we have not forgotten you and the charism that you have taught us!\u00a0We want to express it wholeheartedly.\u00a0Being here, we made a dream come true.\u00a0In this special place in Valdocco, where the Salesian mission began, which brings together Salesians and young people together.\u00a0You have our hearts in your hands.\u00a0You have to take care of your precious treasure.\u00a0Please don’t forget about us and keep listening to us. ”<\/p>\n

“Salesianity – says Pope Francis – is born precisely from this meeting capable of arousing prophecies and visions: welcoming, integrating and making the best qualities grow as a gift for others, especially for those marginalized and abandoned from whom nothing is expected” .<\/p>\n

In an atmosphere of true harmony, the Chapter demonstrated with empathy and coherence another truth underlined by the Pope: \u201cThe interlocutors of Don Bosco yesterday and of the Salesian today are not mere recipients of a strategy planned in advance, but live protagonists of the oratory to be built.\u00a0Through them and with them the Lord shows us his will and his dreams.\u00a0We could call them co-founders of your homes. ”<\/p>\n

The portrait of the Salesian for today’s young people can be reflected in what the Rector Major affirms of himself: \u201cI will try to be, as far as possible, a true man of God, with a strong charismatic and pastoral identity, far-sighted, capable of one look of faith and hope in reading reality.\u00a0It is my deep desire to continue to be, as far as possible, a man capable of fatherhood and fraternal affection, of accompaniment, close to the confreres.\u00a0I think I will put a lot of my energy into being a man capable of building unity, of involving and accompanying, of creating a common vision, of putting differences together, of building communion around him, of working in a team and delegating “.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
