'+Synonyms+': loving concern, affection, kindness, patience

'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': In the Italian lexicon familiar to Don Bosco, the term ''amorevolezza'' was not identified so much with 'love' or the theological virtue of charity, but rather with a range of little relational virtues, attitudes or behaviours shown by gestures, help, gifts, availability. It is the kind of affection shown by a parent or by husband and wife. It is this common-garden sense of the term that Don Bosco employed, but then added an understanding that moved towards a more deeply Christian understanding of the term. As P. Stella indicates, in ''Don Bosco e le trasformazioni sociali e religiose del suo tempo'' (LDC 1973), the term is a complex code of symbols, signs, behaviours for Don Bosco. But it turns up in most of his major areas whereby the preventive system is realised: encounter, forgiveness, confession, the educational relationship, the 'system', teaching practice, ministry, and living together as a family.

'+Context (examples of use)+': His love is that of a father, brother and friend, able to draw out friendship in return; this is the loving-kindness so much recommended by Don Bosco (C. 15)

'+Other notes+': In English we may choose to leave the term as two words, hyphenate it, or combine it into a single word, depending on the degree of familiarity with its use. For Salesians, the single term is fine; for 'friends of Don Bosco' it may be better to maintain it as two words or at most hyphenated.

(: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:)
