(ANS – Rome) – Not only direct encounters with missionary figures, but sometimes also the simple echo of their actions and apostolate can be an inspiration for today's missionaries. This is what the young Salesian in formation, Cl. Soosai Arputharaj, witnesses to us today, while he shares about himself and his life.
(ANS - Rome) – A seemingly chance encounter in the sacristy can change the lives of those involved and of many others. The whole Salesian Family knows this well. But we are not talking about Don Bosco and Bartholomew Garelli: even young Indian Wanteilang Khyllait can say that there is a "before and after" encounter with a Salesian in the sacristy in his life. Because there, as he tells us today, his missionary vocation was born.
(ANS - Rome) – The witness of the missionaries who have returned to his country, the desire to evangelise and above all to completely fulfil “the dream that Christ has for me” were the motivations that prompted young Vietnamese Salesian Dominic Nguyen Quoc Oat to apply for the missions. Next Sunday he will leave with the 154th Salesian Missionary Expedition, bound for England.
(ANS - Rome) - From the words of Mino Nomenjanahary Francois emerges all the awareness of the challenges of missionary life and at the same time all the confidence of someone who knows he will not be alone in facing them. This young man, barely 25 years old, originally from Madagascar and destined for the Salesian mission in Melanesia, in the Visitation of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, offers us his testimony today.
