'+Description+': All three meanings above are particularly relevant for Salesian life, since Salesians more often than not and by preference, live amongst the world's poor. But it is the third meaning which comes most to the fore in Salesian discourse today. The problem begins when we have to explain what ''poor'' and ''poverty mean'' - these are quite elastic terms in our languages today, with implications not only economic and social but psychological, cultural...  From Don Bosco himself, we retain in the renewed Constitutions the following reference: that we "follow the Saviour who was born in poverty..", in other words, DB begins with a reflection on evangelical poverty, and this is the term we use most often today when speaking of the vow of poverty. Cardinal Raul Silva Henriquez SDB, famously commented at Vatican II on evangelical poverty (fruit of grace) and socio-economic poverty (fruit of sin). The theme of evangelical poverty became central to the 26th General Chapter, where it was closely linked to the ''cetera tolle'' of Da mihi animas cetera tolle: "The detachment from everything that makes us insensitive to God and hinders the mission". There are any number of current terms which are effectively synonymous with evangelical poverty and which we find in contemporary Salesian literature: solidarity with the poor, preferential choice for the most needy, reesponsible management of resources

'+Context (examples of use)+': Don Bosco lived his poverty in detachment of heart and generous service of others. (C. 73 of the SDB Constitutions)

'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:)
