As a true successor of Don Bosco, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime speaks of Mary Help of Christians with great enthusiasm and passion and presents Mary as a pillar of the charism and of Salesian work. He says in the video: "there may or may not be devotion, but for us Mary Help of Christians is the Marian dimension of our vocation. This dimension consists of the feeling that she is our mother, and the certainty that she accompanies us in our pastoral duties, and the firm certainty, as Don Bosco used to say, that it is she who does everything and continues to do everything. "
The Rector Major’s greeting concludes with an appeal to all the Salesians in the world not to be distracted by organizational concerns and to never to relegate the young to second place.
