austraLasia #2551 As the 18th December draws near....
MELBOURNE, HONG KONG: 4th December 2009 -- The 5th
December will be a timely reminder - the celebration of Blessed Philip
Rinaldi, of the major and long-awaited event for this year in terms of
the Salesian 150th celebration: 18th December and the renewal of
profession on the part of all Salesians.
You will be happy to know that gleanings
2 and gleanings 3 are now available, along with 'gleanings 1' which
has been in place for several weeks. No 2 is blue and No. 3 is
green, unless you are colour blind (in which case just go by order!!).
These 'gleanings', 'Twitter-like' reflections on the
Constitutions, come at a timely moment and have already spread far and
wide; they can be found on websites now in various continents.
Once again, if you actually want a zipped version of the 3 'gleanings'
to include in a web site, just ask and you will have it by return
mail. Some readers have already worked out how to get hold of the
script and its contents by other simple, technical means. Good for them!
Meanwhile, Salesians in HK and Macau, if one is to
believe Fides who have renamed the Rector Major as 'Inspector
General', have been celebrating the 150th in a big way. One could be
forgiven, from the article concerned, in thinking that we have had an
enormous vocation surge in that part of the world, but that can be
taken as a good omen! If you wish to read the more subdued and
ultimately more correct version written by our own people from Hong
Kong, and published by us on 19th
November, just go here.
