\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 First World Day of the Poor \u2013 November 19<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Friends and Salesian Family members!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I experienced many times, that even four years after the gift of Pope Francis prophetic letter \u2018The Joy of the Gospel\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0(November 2013), many faithful within the worldwide Catholic community are still not aware about full shape his \u2018Project – Dream\u2019 about the Church in the state of permanent mission, reaching out especially to the poor.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So we were glad with the announcement of the\u00a0First World Day of the Poor (Sunday – November 19, 2017)<\/strong>. Indeed it\u2019s another consistent initiative along Pope Francis deepest conviction: at the very heart of the Gospel is life in community and commitment for others. Without loving concretely the poor we can\u2019t be true disciples of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During past four years our Rector Major repeated with a tireless zeal:\u00a0The poor young people are saving the Salesians!<\/strong>\u00a0Indeed our Salesian vocation lived in different ways\u00a0(SDB, FMA, Salesian Cooperators, VDB, CDB, ADMA, Caritas Sisters of Jesus, SAL, SIHM, DQM \u2013 SQM religious, Past Pupils of Don Bosco & Mary Help of Christians or Michaelites)<\/em>\u00a0experience the same reality: wherever we are committed with and for the poor people or youth in need\/at risk \u2013 in these places we see our vocation flourish!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 According the specific wish of Pope Francis,\u00a0let\u2019s make the week of November 12-19 a special time of a personal encounter with the poor (youth) and action for them:<\/strong>\u00a0Let us love, not with words but with deeds!\u00a0<\/strong>Without the poor youth we can\u2019t meet properly Jesus as Salesians of Don Bosco \u2013 not only in our special works – like Tuloy sa Don Bosco (FIN), Los Palos (ITM), Kodaira – Tokyo (GIA), Myitkyina (MYM), Liloan \u2013 Cebu (FIS), Dae Rim Dong – Seoul (KOR), Boys Town – Taiwan (CIN), Engadine – Sydney (AUL), Can Gio (VIE), Chiang Mai (THA) or Tetere in Solomon Islands (PGS).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 Also each member of the Salesian Family is called this November to meet personally Jesus in the poor, face to face, not just on the Facebook. As the poor (youth) have a special place in the Heart of God \u2013 if we like to remain his true children, we are called to live with the same heartbeat! Let the role models of Fr. Gaetano Nicosia or Br. Elmer Rodriguez and many other Salesians committed to the poor, keep us walking out of our comfort zone towards the encounter with Jesus present in the poor youth around us!<\/span><\/p>\n
