A couple
of items
This
aLa is very brief and there is a reason for that. This
writer has been working since 3.30 a.m (it is now 9.00 p.m.)
almost non-stop on GC27 translations that have been coming
in (from one end of the world to the other!)
It is not just the 'official' documents that come in as
translation requests but every Tom, Dick and Harry (you can
substitute any names you like for these) who needs something
in English sends in a 'please translate' note and sometimes
as curt and brutally as that!
But the fact is that 'the document' is more or less ready in
its final wording. One part yet to come in - tomorrow. Even
if it were to come tonight it would not be looked at :-)- It
is looking good! You will like it.
There is also a message from the Chapter - I guess that will
find its way out to people in due course.
But also nearing completion is Salesian Sources, a 1,358
page collection of Don Bosco's original
material. In actual fact it is 4 parts, though people
often speak of 3. The 4th part is the ''Lives', 'MO' and a
couple of other items which everyone has or has read. But
Parts 1-3 contain considerable quantities of material that
have not been available in English before.
