Third Sunday in rdinary Time

A man sent by God whose name is John Bosco(continued from last week)

Dear Parishioners ,In the fall of 1835, John entered

the seminary to begin the final stageon his road to the priesthood. Hewas twenty years old. . The nightbefore, mamma Margaret spoke to

John as only a mother would: whenyou came into the world, I conse-crated you to the Blessed Virgin;when you began your schooling, Irecommended you exclusively to theMadonna. Now I beg you to belongto her entirely. Love those wholove her, and if someday you become a priest, constantly pro-mote devotion to this good Mother. Margaret and Johnboth began to cry, He broke the silence: Mother, beforeleaving you for my new life let me thank you for all you havedone for me. Your counsels are engraved up on my soul, andthey will be my treasure from which I shall draw every day.

Johns Mother, affectionately known by the boys and ear-ly Salesians as Mamma Margaret, gave her son a Christianeducation early in life. It was to be this way till the end ofher earthly life. She spent the last decade of her life with Johnas his apostolate began to unfold. She was a brave woman,wise and prudent. Mamma Margaret passed on to her chil-dren the gospel she lived and practiced. Her son Joseph be-came the father of a good family and continued his life as afarmer. Her stepson Anthony, the cause of so much heart

ache, eventually found his way in life and made peace withMamma Margaret and John. She believed that moral princi-ples and Christian behavior were the foundation of a peacefuland successful life. Although she had been raised in dire pov-erty and had to raise her own family in conditions not muchbetter, her faith in God was never shaken. At this importantperiod of his life, the teachings and encouragement of hissaintly mother were to help John meet the challenge of find-ing his own way in the world.

In todays world too many young people have reason tofeel abandoned by their parents. Some are raised by elderlygrand-parents; some become parents themselves in theirteens. Under these circumstances there is deep loss of per-sonal worth and a lowering of self-esteem. Not finding thelove they need at home the young will seek out groups thatgive them feeling of longing and self-worth. There is nodoubt that in the normal home environment, the motherplays a crucial role not only in the physical growth of herchild, but also in his or her emotional and psychic develop-ment. With the premature death of her husband, Margaretremained faithful to her vocation of motherhood and raisedher three children with care, love and vigilance. Though shewas illiterate, her life and example gave her children much tolearn from. This one-parent home was functional.(To be continued.)

Un hombre enviado por Dios cuyo nombre es Juan Bosco(continuacin de la semana pasada...)

Queridos feligreses,En el otoo de 1835, Juan entr al semina-

rio para empezar la fase final en su camino alsacerdocio. Tena veinte aos. La nocheanterior, mam Margarita habl a Juan comolo hace una madre: "cuando tu viniste al mun-do, te consagre a la Santsima Virgen; Cuandotu comenzaste tu estudio, te recomendexclusivamente a la Virgen. Ahora te ruegoque te encomiendes enteramente a ella. Amaaquellos que la aman, y si algn da te convier-tes en sacerdote, constantemente promuevela devocin a esta buena madre." Margarita y

Juan ambos comenzaron a llorar, y Juan rompi el silencio:"madre, antes de dejarla para comenzar mi nueva vida quieroagradecerle por todo lo que ha hecho por m. Sus consejosestn grabados en mi alma, y ellos sern mi tesoro con los queyo me preparare cada da.

La Madre de Juan, afectuosamente conocida por los mucha-chos y Salesianos como Mam Margarita, dio a su hijo una edu-cacin cristiana a muy temprana edad. As fue hasta los ltimosdas de su vida. Ella pas la ltima dcada de su vida con Juan yah comenz su apostolado. Ella era una mujer valiente, sabia yprudente. Mam Margarita paso a sus hijos el Evangelio que ellamisma vivi y practic. Su hijo Jos se convirti en el padre deuna buena familia y continu su vida como un granjero. Su hijas-tro Anthony, la causa de tanto dolor de corazn, finalmenteencontr su camino en la vida e hizo las paces con mam Mar-

garita y Juan. Ella crea que los principios morales y cristianoseran parte del comportamiento y los cimientos para una vidapacfica y exitosa. Aunque haba sido criado en la extrema po-breza y tuvo que formar su propia familia en condiciones nomuy buenas, su fe en Dios nunca fue sacudida. En este impor-tante perodo de su vida, las enseanzas y el estmulo de suSanta madre fueron la ayuda de Juan a afrontar el reto de en-contrar su propio camino en el mundo.

En la actualidad muchos jvenes tienen razn de sentirseabandonados por sus padres. Algunos son criados por susabuelos ancianos; Otros se convierten en padres en su adoles-cencias. En estas circunstancias hay una prdida profunda delvalor personal y una baja autoestima de amor propio. No en-contrando el amor que necesitan en casa los jvenes buscan engrupos que les den el sentimiento de deseo y auto-valoracin.No hay duda que en el entorno familiar normal, la madredesempea un papel crucial no slo en el crecimiento fsico desu hijo, sino tambin en su desarrollo psquico y emocional.Con la muerte prematura de su marido, Margarita permanecifiel a su vocacin a la maternidad y crio a sus tres hijos concuidado, amor y atencin. Aunque ella era analfabeta, su vida ysu ejemplo dieron a sus hijos mucho de donde aprender. Estehogar con un solo padre era funcional.(Continuar...)

Don Bosco Friend of the Young

Refrain:We will send the message. We will be the witnessesthat you, Don Bosco, are the friend of the youngand the poor. Lead us safely through the storm tothe heavenly shore .

2. You felt the fire in the heart of the Lord whoburns with love. And you touched the heart of the

young with that fire from above. Touch our heartswith that fire, make our God our desire.

3.You showed the young they were called to theservice of their Lord. You taught them to walk inthe light and the power of His Word. Help us walkin that light, make His Word our delight .
