Happy Vocation is also the dream of the 10th sucessor of Don Bosco, Fr. Angel Fernandez Artime (Rector Major)
from his interview with the ANS news agency(March 25, 2015)
Don Bosco was a dreamer. As
the Successor of Don Bosco, what is your dream for the Congregation?
Among all the things I
dream of, I choose two aspects that come straight from my heart. I dream of a
Congregation of the Salesians of Don Bosco in which each and every one of its
members, without exception, feels really happy to live the life we have chosen, giving each day a joyful response to the Lord and to
Don Bosco, for young people.
I dream that all who see us
will say, ”How happy these Salesians are!”, and that our response will
be, “We are happy because the Lord fills our lives, because we feel loved by
our brother Salesians and by our family and friends, and that giving our lives
for the young people that the Lord sends our way fills us with joy.
I dream of a congregation
that over the next five years, as we look ahead to the 28th General
Chapter, can say that we have continued to grow in authenticity and fidelity to
what is most essential for us as Salesians.
