Description
Don Bosco’s dream at the age of nine is a dream that took wings and transformed his life. It continues to make others dream! In the dream at the age of nine, the mission that Don Bosco, the saint of the youth will fulfil with dedication, effort, sacrifice, but also with joy, charity, and passion is outlined. Jesus and Mary indicate to John his mission: the field of work (the poor and abandoned youth); the educational method (not through beatings/blows but with charity and gentleness); the attitude to adopt (make yourself humble, strong, and robust); the teacher and support (Mary Help of Christians); the fruits of this commitment (the transformation from wolves to lambs). For this reason, the dream at the age of nine remains an essential point of reference for the entire Salesian family.
In 2024, the Salesian Family is celebrating the second centenary of this dream of Don Bosco. The year 2024 also marks 150 years of the approval of the Salesian Constitutions on 3 April 1874.
This book offers a collection of Lectio Divina and charismatic readings from various authors for the Salesian family to reflect on through the twelve months of the year. Communities and groups are invited to relive the transformative legacy of the dream of Don Bosco.
