CELBRIDGE, Ireland: 30th January 2006 - It would seem
useful to send this item out immediately, not that austraLasia readers
will succeed in getting their copies in time for Don Bosco's Feastday
tomorrow, but this is an enterprising and attractive way to present the
Rector Major's thinking, and no doubt any number of readers will want
to follow up on the information contained here. You are requested to
contact the address given below rather than trying to work through
austraLasia - I might add to the cost for 'beer money'!
SDB Media has just
published a new booklet, "Rekindling the Fire. Inspiring examples from
the history of the Church". It is the third in an annual collection
that gathers the Rector Major's Italian Salesian Bulletin articles on
last year's Strenna to make them readily available in English. It makes
a fine present for SDB, FMA, Salesian Family members and friends of Don
Bosco, especially if celebrating his feastday in any public fashion.
In "Rekindling the Fire", Fr Pascual's musings take
us on a journey through the ages - a veritable Church History
- from Christ, Mary and the Apostles, through the early and middle
centuries, down to our own day. He presents us with inspiring examples
of the Spirit at work in the lives of Christ's disciples to renew,
through their holiness, the face of the Church, the Bride of Christ.
And he directs a special word of encouragement to women, politicians
and young people.
The editor, Fr Patrick Egan, has added a Summary
Prayer at
the end of each chapter as a gentle reminder that coming to love the
Church and to refresh and renew its face is a spiritual work only the
Spirit can effect.
"Rekindling the Fire" is available from SDB Media
[sdbmedia@eircom.net] price euro 2.00 (plus post and packaging). Happy
Don Bosco feastday!
