BEING A RELIGIOUS THE DON BOSCO WAY
Thomas Anchukandam, sdb
Being a Religious the Don Bosco Way is a call to be like Don Bosco, an authentic sign and bearer of God’s love in the world of today. This is to be realized, not only by being mere “service-providers,” but by being also experts in sharing knowledge in its various dimensions, spiritual experiences and insights, and above all by being agents of communion. This is possible only for one who is engaged in a constant search for God’s will in imitation of Christ Himself and like Him in identifying that will with “the total well-being of all people.” Don Bosco, embodied in himself these “perennial values” which characterize religious life.”
This book entitled Being a Religious the Don Bosco Way, is a collection of retreat talks preached by Fr. Thomas Anchukandam, SDB. Based on his wide experience and vast learning he points out how we can be happy and effective religious today following the footsteps of Don Bosco.
An Excellent Book to Guide Us as We Move Beyond the Bi-Centenary!
