5005(II)_Salesian Holiness is at your fingertips

Strenna 2019 Video

By Our Own Correspondent

EAO, 9 February 2019 -- Six weeks after the publication of the 2019 Strenna of the Rector Major 'Holiness For You Too!' we have already the wonderful story - a 19 minute video presentation on Youtube in 37 languages. We congratulate the FIS province for the first ever version of the Rector Major's video with CEBUANO sub-titles, thanks to the DB CLAY (Lay formation services) mission partners.

Have you already watched this video with your religious community (SDB, FMA, SIHM, Caritas, SQM, SAL, Michaelites) or with your Salesian Cooperators, Alumni or ADMA Centre? Here are a few simple results of yesterday's sharing in one Hong Kong community. The confreres shared what touched their hearts while watching the Strenna video or what they would like to bring to this new year 2019.

• Journey of holiness: Never give up!
• Holiness is just to answer to the cry of God: "I love you, for ever!"
• Be humble and patient!
• Treasure the attitude of Dominic Savio: "I am the cloth and you are tailor!"
• This year's Strenna is a strong reminder to accompany the youth in their personal growth!
• To see the Rector Major at the Termini train station (Rome) is really inspiring - 'Breath of God through the life of each human being'
• Jesus is telling: "I came to give my life for my sheep". We need to accept they are called to live their life in full!'
• Holiness is also to know to wait, not just a harvest
• I have resolved to pray the Rosary in my daily life
• This is the best Strenna in many years! It helps us to go to our roots, in the way of St Francis de Sales.
• Holiness is our mission - for me the holiness is to approach the youth first!
• Yes, even fixing the car (like in the video) is an expression of holiness
• Salesian holiness is attracting youth to Jesus in 136 countries
• This Strenna video is perfect especially for watching with the young."

This year there are 37 different language subtitles to the Strenna Video of 19 minutes
