Congratulations to all the confreres of Indonesia, especially to those whom I had the pleasure to know and live with here in the Holy Land, first in Cremisan than in Jerusalem Ratisbonne. This historic achievement is not only a canonical fact, but a charismatic event which underlines that you have reached the maturity of salesian life/witness and apostolate/ministry, as it is shown by the number of brothers in initial formation. May the Lord, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christian, don Bosco, saints Versiglia and Caravario, continue to bless, guide and strenghten you. A special thanks to Fr Lino Belo who played the role of ...(allow me) a midwife during the recent years of transition. I wish that the older and the new salesian ... babies continue to grow as twins in fraternal charity and cooperation, in number, in zeal and in sanctity. Pray please also for your friends in this troubled Middle East. Fr Gianni Caputa
