New spirituality magazine for Salesian Family: Path to
Inner Life
BANGKOK: 4th May 2005 -- The first issue of a
new spirituality magazine for the Salesian Family in the Thai language, Path to
Inner Life (Chittvisai in Thai), has been distributed to six different
branches of the Salesian Family in the province. The first edition of
1,000 copies contains 56 pages.
The brainchild of Fr Joseph Banchong, a
doctoral graduate in pastoral theology from the Alfonsianum in Rome, the
new magazine aims to be a quarterly with brief theme-focused articles, often
translations from material elsewhere, but the ultimate aim is to support and
nurture the spiritual life of the Salesian Family. This comes largely as a
response to the request from the SF advisory council of the THA
province.
To offer an idea of the content of this
first edition, herewith a list of articles:
# Salesian Spiritual
life (What is it? – Vecchi)
# Psychology of
Spiritual life

-

life

# Image of
Jesus
-

Fr Banchong
forms part of a group working full time on Salesianity material in the Thai
language and leads of team of six SF members in the same task. He is a
member of the ongoing formation commission for the province as well as the Vice
Postulator for the cause of Fr Carlo della Torre, Founder of the Daughters of
