Live Jesus with St. Francis De Sales and St. John Bosco

Description

Within the Salesian tradition, the engaged mysticism of St John Bosco can be summed up in St Francis de Sales’ dictum: live Jesus or let Jesus live in us. This is the source of the spiritual affinity which exists between these two great saints. It also remains as an invitation for us to enter into this originating experience of the overflow of God’s love that takes us out of ourselves to be given to the young. In this way, we participate in the life and mission of Jesus as the Beloved who is sent. The perennial challenge remains for us to allow ourselves to be loved by God so as to participate in the Good Shepherd’s mission to the young. In this way, the young, in turn, may come to know themselves as beloved in the Beloved. Live Jesus!
