‘Not with blows with kindness you will make them
friends’ these words said by Jesus to little Jonny Bosco set the tone of his
mission. Don Bosco told his boys about the ugliness of sin and the beauty of
virtue. Now it is not the Church asking young people to come close to it, but
the Church through Don Bosco is coming close to the young.
The Salesian
presence in the world makes sense if it is seen as proposing to young people a
way to holiness. The Salesian Youth spirituality is that to be available to the
young especially the most deprived with an approach of individual freedom and
faith, helping them to become progressively more involved in his/her own
growth.
The youth spirituality is about building the Church of Christ and
participating in the mission of the Church. It is a spirituality which enriches
the whole church with the gift of holiness.
