Present or far away, I was thinking of you
I have only one desire, that you are happy here on earth and in
eternity
I am not happy to be far away from you
I love you tenderly in Christ Jesus
You are the only, and continue to be, the thought of my heart
IntroductionIntroductionLetter from RomeLetter from Rome
Life, movement, entertainment
Youth taken care of by a priest
A seminarian with another group playing.
Singing, laughing
Between the youth and their teachers regins cordiality and
confidence.

I was no longer hearing joyful shouting or songs
On the faces of the young people there was saddness
They were lonely, with depressive thoughts
Coldness towards the sacraments, ingratitude

All these are not enough...

Let the young not only be loved,

But let them understand that, in the oratory, there is love.

For us, it has to do with the originality of the Congregation, to go into the essentials, to re-write the Letter from Rome of 1884. Let us return to Don Bosco and turn to the youth!.
