Sacraments of God's love

Today is the feast of Don Bosco, founder of the Salesian Family whose mission is to be signs and bearers of God's love for young people.
May Don Bosco's life and example inspire us to believe in the "goodness" of each young person.
Our priest this morning mentioned that through us, God wants to reach the young. Yes, our humanity, despite its limitations, is a privileged channel through which God wants to express to young people His love and care. So nothing is small, nothing is insignificant. We are sacraments of God's love for the young.

Following Jesus Christ

Saints are men and women who have accepted God in their lives and live or have lived their lives coherent to that choice. Saints are men and women who are just like you and me, of different temperaments, ages, contexts, interests. So it is understandable when we have preferences. After all, it is similar to having friends. We have preferences, some are just acquaintances, some are friends of the heart.
There is a risk that we pit saints against each other. We say that one is more powerful than the other, or that one is holier, or that one is more radical, etc.
What a pity if we get lost in this and forget what the saints really want to tell us: to choose God, to follow Jesus Christ.
So in honor of our founder's feast today, I say: "It is Jesus Christ I follow, according to the way of Don Bosco!"
