Italy - "Only one ting I want: that you be happy now and in eternity"

16 April 2024

Palermo, Italy – April 2024 - Vocational animation ended on Saturday 13 April at the Don Bosco Institute, Villa Ranchibile in Palermo, animated by a team of young FMA and SDB from Sicily. During the week, several activities were carried out with the 950 students of the first and second grade secondary school, the latter divided into the Classical, Scientific and Economic-Social high schools. Inspired by a famous Italian song from 1979, the testimony of consecrated young people was linked to the theme of the light we receive from Christ, how the moon reflects that of the sun, and the experience of darkness, which challenges us to restart and rekindle ourselves. In the meetings in the assembly, during the morning of retreat, but above all with the formation dynamics carried out class by class, many adolescents were emotionally involved through the simple gesture of turning on a light bulb that, together with those of their classmates, made a large moon shine. The young team, FMA and SDB, also experienced days of great charismatic wealth, characterised by the rhythm of the school day; the morning Eucharist celebrated together and the uninterrupted presence among the children of the school and the oratory, cemented the group, made the educational heart of Don Bosco and Mother Mazzarello present and visible.
