MESSAGES OF THE RECTOR MAJOR

  • A BIG HEART LIKE THE SHORES OF THE SEA

    THE MESSAGE OF THE VICAR OF THE RECTOR MAJOR, Fr Stefano Martoglio, SDB

    A new time is given to us: from the Heart of God to the heart of humanity, mirrored in the great heart of Don Bosco.

    Dear friends and readers, in this December issue I address you with my best wishes for a new year! We find ourselves in a new time that is given to us to live with intensity and with "newness of life," which I make my own, as a propitious and opportune wish. I am speaking of the gift that the Holy Father has given us in recent days: his Encyclical letter Dilexit Nos on the human and Divine Love of the Heart of Jesus Christ.
