BEYOND THE WAY OF THE CROSS

 

 

Dear Friends and Confreres!

 

  When some of the young Salesians from our region reach the Basilica of Don Bosco at Becchi, they are surprised by the 14 stations of the WAY OF LIGHT, usually not well known in our 11 provinces. This is a simple invitation to pray it during 2016 Easter time!

 

The way of the Cross, consisting of 14 stations, moments in the last 12 hours of Christ’s life, is a long establish form of prayer in the Church. It is especially appropriate devotion during the Lenten season. However during the Easter season when our attention is focused on the Resurrection, the Stations of the Cross appear a little out of place. 

 

And so 25 years ago an Italian Salesian priest, Fr Sabino Palumbieri (founder of the Salesian Family official group 'Witnesses of the Risen Lord') was inspired to compose a continuation of the Lenten devotion into an Eastertide devotion. He substituted the moments of Christ’s passion and death, with the events which took place from the day of the Resurrection till the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles at Pentecost. 

 

Very soon an artist, Mr Giovanni Dragoni (Salesian past-pupil) captured the vision of Fr Sabino with 14 stations carved in wood. And the first known Way of Light was blessed on Easter Sunday 1994 at the hill of Becchi, in the Basilica of Don Bosco (cf. photos)

 

For those who are interested to pray during this 2016 Easter time the ‘Way of Light’ - different materials are available on the Boscolink in Italian, English, French, Chinese and Japanese languages: https://www.bosco.link/index.php?mid=resource&document_srl=10361.

 

I wish you a fruitful experience of great God’s Love during 

incoming Jesus Passion and Easter celebrations!

 

In Don Bosco

    Thank you very much, for this message, it is for me a novelty too.
    it is led to reflect on another dimension of life, life is not only suffering, but there is joy of resurrection afterwards.and the little joy of daily life is more important.
    God bless! pray for each other.

    Thank you for your GNT

    I learned a lot every time from your message about the Way of Light
    This time, it is very impressive for me to know the fact that Salesian priest made such a wonderful design for our religious preparation for Lent. Of course His resurrection is center of our faith and is the most precious thing but we don't understand well enough of His resurrectoon and the meaning of it especially for this modern time and for the youth.
    I want to use this information and designs for our Salesian volunteer group VIDES and make our members more aware of the precious spirituality of the resurrection.
    We need to thunk about it well and consider what it means.
    Through this, I think we can understand the social problme we face now and also deepen our understandinn of Don Bosco's style of education we now need to do and represent.
    Thank you for making chance for me to think about this kinds of things every time.
    I want to do my best and consider about my vocation.
    Thanks again.
    Sr. P

    Goodnight Talk tháng Ba 2016 của Cha Bề Trên Miền : Chặng đường Ánh sáng







    Văn Hào, SDB
    Ngày 01 tháng 03 năm 2016

    Từ Cambodia-Pnom Penh cùng hiệp thông với Cha Bề trên Cả trong cuộc thăm viếng vùng Đông Á, Cha xin gởi lời chàm thăm đến tất cả anh chị em.
    Các bạn hữu và anh em hội viên thân mến,
    Nhiều anh em Sa-lê-diêng trẻ trong vùng EAO chúng ta khi đến kính viếng Đền Thánh Don Bosco ở Becchi đã tỏ ra khá ngạc nhiên khi thấy 14 ‘Chặng đường Ánh sáng’ ở đây. Có lẽ nhiều anh em trong 11 tỉnh dòng tại vùng Đông Á Thái Bình Dương cũng chưa hiểu rõ tại sao lại có 14 chặng đường ánh sáng này. Trong bài good night talk lần này, Cha mời gọi anh chị em cùng suy niệm và cầu nguyện đặc biệt trong dịp lễ Phục sinh sắp tới.
    Đàng Thánh giá theo truyền thống đạo đức của Giáo hội gồm 14 chặng, diễn tả lại 12 giờ cuối cùng trong cuộc đời tại thế của Chúa Giêsu. Đàng Thánh giá vẫn thường được suy niệm, đặc biệt vào mùa chay. Tuy nhiên, bước sang mùa Phục sinh, chúng ta cầu nguyện quy chiếu vào mầu nhiệm Chúa Sống lại, nên 14 chặng Thánh giá ít được nhắc tới.
    Hai mươi lăm năm trước, Cha Sabino Palumbieri SDB là người sáng lập nhóm ‘Chứng nhân Chúa Phục sinh’ và cũng là một nhóm chính thức trong gia đình Sa-lê-diêng, đã được khởi hứng để kéo dài lòng tôn kính từ mùa chay tiếp sang mùa Phục sinh. Ngài đã thay thế những chặng Thánh giá phác lại sự thương khó và cái chết của Chúa bằng những chặng khác khởi từ biến cố Chúa sống lại đến việc ban Thánh Thần cho các tông đồ vào ngày lễ ngũ tuần.
    Thế rồi ngay sau đó, ông Giovanni Dragoni, 1 cựu học viên Sa-lê-diêng đã nắm bắt được ý tưởng của Cha Sabinô và ông đã cho điêu khắc 14 ‘chặng đường ánh sáng’ trên thảm gỗ. Vào ngày Chúa Nhật Phục sinh năm 1994, 14 Chặng Ánh sáng khắc trên gỗ được làm phép và đươc trưng ra tại đồi Becchi. Hiện nay 14 Chặng Ánh sáng được treo trong đền thánh Don Bosco ở Colle Don Bosco (xem hình ảnh bên dưới).
    Những ai muốn suy niệm và cầu nguyện trước 14 chặng ánh sáng trong mùa Phục sinh này, có thể xem trên trang web BOSCOLINK. Các tài liệu được phổ biến bằng tiếng Ý, tiếng Anh, tiếng Pháp, tiếng Trung Hoa và tiếng Nhật.
    Xin chúc các bạn và các anh em cảm nghiệm dồi dào tình yêu Chúa trong Đại lễ Chúa chịu chết và Phục sinh sắp đến.
    Thân ái trong Don Bosco
    Cha Klement Vaclav, Bề Trên miền
