“Salus Credentium”

Don Bosco’s dream of the Two Pilars reveals a reality we need now more than ever. Our world is sick in all various forms, and Don Bosco highlights that only in the Eucharistic Lord, will “believers find their healing and salvation.”

Every Friday, the Sacred Heart Novitiate sector spends a special time before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, our “Salus Credentium.” Let us pray therefore that the world may return to Him, believe in Him and trust once more in His merciful love!

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

HAPPY 211TH BIRTHDAY, ST. JOHN BOSCO, OUR FATHER, TEACHER AND FRIEND! 😊🌟🤍

St. John Paul II beautifully highlighted the gift of Don Bosco's Holiness: "In this letter I want especially to consider in Don Bosco the fact that he realized his personal holiness through an educative commitment lived with zeal and an apostolic heart, and that at the same time he knew how to propose holiness as the practical objective of his pedagogy. An interchange between “education” and “holiness” is indeed the characteristic aspect of his personality: he was a “holy educator,” he drew his inspiration from a “holy model”— Francis de Sales, he was the disciple of a “holy spiritual director”—Joseph Cafasso, and he was able to form from among his boys a “holy pupil”—Dominic Savio."

(From Juvenum Patris)

May St. John Bosco's birthday inspire us to live our lives in total dedication to the Lord and the path He traces for us, a path to holiness!

St. John Bosco, pray for us! 🤍🌟

Birthday prayer for Fr. Roneldo Vilbar, SDB:

Heavenly Father, we thank You today for the gift of life and vocation of Your faithful servant, Fr. Ronel. As we celebrate his birthday, we rejoice in the many ways You have used him to bring young people closer to You, following the example of St. John Bosco. Grant him a heart always burning with zeal, joy, and love for the youth, especially the poor and abandoned. Strengthen his faith, deepen his charity, and fill him with wisdom in guiding souls toward holiness.

Through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians, keep him under her maternal care, protecting him from all harm and inspiring him to be a true shepherd after Your own Heart. May his life be a living testimony of Your goodness, and may he continue to lead many to Christ with a Salesian spirit of joy and kindness.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
