---- (:comment Write term as a title in lower case except where upper case or capitals are normally required:) '+Term:+' (:comment Write term on this line, after this comment:) grace of unity '+Definition+': "A single movement of charity to God and to his neighbor. This type of life is not something fixed and prefabricated, but is a 'project' in permanent construction. Its unity is not static but is a unity in tension and in continual need of balance, of revision, of conversion and adaptation." (Acts of the Special general Chapter)

'+Synonyms+': apostolic interiority, the contemplative dimension of life, vital synthesis, a unique movement of charity towards God and the young, liturgy of life

'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': The term finds its basis in the Special General Chapter, and while not used as such in the Constitutions, takes its notion from the phrase in C. 21 "admiring in him [Don Bosco] a splendid blending of grace and nature". ''Evangelise by educating and educate by evangelising'' is another formula by now widespread in Salesian discourse and which expresses the notion of in the inward unity amongst members of the Salesian Family, since it deals not just with education but with spirituality. ''Passion for God and passion for ones neighbour'' is another formula popularised by Fr Chávez, and it too, recalls the concept of the grace of unity.

'+Context (examples of use)+': The 'grace of unity' brings to our minds in an original form the fertile completeness of both our mission and our consecration.(Special General Chapter)

'+Other notes+': The phrase tends to be almost always placed in inverted commas, suggesting it is something of a neologism in Salesian discourse.

(:zapend:) (:zapform key=Type:) '''Term type''' ('EntryTerm' ''if no other applies)'' (1) (2) [Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)
