On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are reminded that Heaven is not simply a destination it is a place where we belong. ๐Today, we also joyfully celebrate the 211th Birthday of our Father and Teacher of the Youth, St. John Bosco! ๐
Through the formation given by Rev. Paulo Calderon, SDB, we were reminded of something beautiful:
๐ The Oratory is a home.
๐ซ It is our safe place.
๐ค We are not alone. Being weak is not a problem.
๐ฑ Sometimes, even those who seem happy are quietly struggling to cope.
โ๏ธ Heaven is a place where we belong.
Like Don Bosco, may we continue to build a youth ministry where every young person can say:
โI am home. I am safe. I am not alone. I belong.โ
May Mary, our Mother, guide us closer to Heaven, and may Don Bosco continue to inspire us to become a home and a safe place for one another.
Happy 211th Birthday, Don Bosco! ๐
Viva Maria! ๐
Viva Don Bosco! ๐
