14 April 2023

São Paulo, Brazil - April 2023 - At the Center of Salesian Youth Spirituality (CEJUS) in São Paulo, 50 young people, aged between 17 and 25, belonging to the Salesian and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians Provinces of São Paulo, participated in the "Youth Easter." The young people took part in the Easter Triduum celebrations and moments of formation led by Sister Maria, FMA, and Fr. Rafael Galvão, SDB. The youth delved into the biblical, liturgical and theological moments of the Paschal mystery. "Youth Easter is, for all of us, an experience of deepening our faith. It represents the vibrancy of the Church. Christ lives! He comes with us to school, church and office. He lives in each person who manifests his gesture of love," said Salesian Br. Gabriel Mariano, recalling his speech at the event. According to Wilbertty Silva, SDB, the highlight of the event was the traditional "procession of the Dead Christ" on Good Friday, when he saw people in the streets get up and moved as the procession passed by. This year's Salesian Youth Easter also welcomed some members of the Youth Ministry of the Salesian Province of Mexico-Guadalajara (MEG). MEG representatives - Margargarita Aguilar, Alejandra Peregrina, Ricardo Lara and Mario Montes - highlighted the experience of faith and witness that took place during the weekend. "We are happy and recognize that the Salesian mission has no boundaries. The language is difficult to understand, but we are united by the heart of Don Bosco and the Salesian charism," they commented.
