Today the Salesian family celebrates its first martyrs - St. Aloysius Versiglia and Callistus Caravario.

Chastity - what does it mean?
It means that we are called to live our lives in a way that manifests the dignity of the human being by acknowledging our sexuality as a gift from God. When this gift from God is used in accord with His Will we give glory to God and actually build up the Kingdom of God by being faithful to our state in life.Thursday, February 18, 2010
40 Days for Life 2010
It was a well-choreographed scene, and everyone knew their part. Abortion opponents stood on the sidewalk outside the clinic and prayed. Yellow-vested Planned Parenthood representatives met patients at their cars and escorted them into the clinic, shielding faces with umbrellas.

Holy Father speaks to the Pontificial Academy for Life
In His speach "God Loves Every Human Being in a Unique and Profound Way" addressed to the members of the Academy Pope said: "Joining bioethics and natural moral law permits the best confirmation of the necessary and unavoidable reminder of the dignity that human life intrinsically possesses from its first instant to its natural end. But in the contemporary context, while a just reminder about the rights that guarantee dignity to the person is emerging with ever greater insistence, one notes that such rights are not always recognized in the natural development of human life and in the stages of its greatest fragility."Sunday, February 14, 2010
Meditation on the marrital icon
Lord Jesus, please endow our marriage with the gift of dialogue. Help me to hear my husband/wife out better, help us to understand each other better, help us to share what is inside us and, first of all, to forgive each other. Give us gentleness and sensitivity in our conversations and make them lead us to a true encounter with each other and with you. Please help us to receive and accept each other more and more fully and to make a unity in which we will both remain ourselves. Please heal all the difficult matters that divide us and let us enjoy our marriage and always remain in your love. Amen.Friday, February 12, 2010
Lent and Life
As we are approaching Lent we would like to share a reflection of Fr. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President of the Human Life International, to discover a close connection between this special time of the year and our pro-life activities: "The Scriptures and our Church both tell us that Lent is not a season for timid creatures. If in Lent we were to simply jump through the hoops of fasting and abstinence on the days prescribed, we would be rightly accused of a sort of spiritual minimalism. But God is not served by minimalists – He wants tested saints of faith to be channels of His Life to the world! That is what Lent calls us to be."Wednesday, February 10, 2010
New Coordinator YFL for Israel
On 6 February 2010 Salesians from Jerusalem, who take care of the Apostolate YFL, expressed their gratitude to br. Daisuke Kitagawa SDB. Because of his coming priestly ordination and departure to Japan, he finished his service as the Coordinator YFL for Israel. Once again we would like to thank him for his work and time dedicated to the Apostolate. At the same day a new Coordinator YFL for Israel has been installed - br. Szymon Kasprzak SDB. We wish him strength and creativity in guiding the community of the Apostolate in Israel.
