Today is an important day in the Salesian world. We celebrate the 175th anniversary of the first meeting of Don Bosco and Bartholomew Garelli. We consider it the birth of the Salesian mission.
Yes, the Salesian mission did not start as a structure. It started as an encounter, a meeting of hearts: a young boy in search of welcome and a priest who saw a friend in that boy.
I guess it is an invitation to us all Salesians. The renewal that we need is to go back to what is essential: we are sent by God to be His heart for the young.
