Turin, Italy – 18 January 2025 – The morning of Saturday 18 January for participants in the Salesian Family Spirituality Days 2025 opened with the celebration of the Eucharist presided over by Cardinal Cristóbal López, SDB, Archbishop of Rabat, in the Salesian Basilica of Mary Help of Christians. The Salesian cardinal, after recalling the start, that day, of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, recalled the readings of the day to deliver to everyone the appeal "Follow me" made by Jesus to Saint Matthew, pointing to it as an invitation that the Lord continues to make daily to all sinners who await a sign of hope and renewal. The cardinal then launched a new exhortation to the faithful, so that they might know how to cultivate the virtues of hope and trust, indicated by Saint Paul in his Letter to the Hebrews, founding them on the person of Jesus Christ, "our friend and savior, a doctor of souls (...) still of hope, who supports us and invites us on a pilgrimage with young people, for whom we must always be Signs and Beareres of the Love of God and also missionaries of the Kingdom".
