... because all that glitters is not gold

As part of the universe, I am grateful for the wisdom of ages past, for the many men and women, co-pilgrims before me and with me, whose words serve as guiding lights in my journey.

The oratorian heart


For Don Bosco, the oratorian heart is fervour, zeal, making all possible resources available, seeking new paths, a capacity to resist under trial, the  will to start again after defeats, an optimism that is nurtured and cultivated and spread abroad; it is that concern, full of faith and charity, which finds in Mary a shining example of self-giving. (Salesian Family Charter, art. 29)
