- I guess I am the onyl italian here... and I even don t remember how I got to this website this morning...
By the way I was born in Cuneo under a salesian parish. during my childhood I could not care less about that. But then during my years at the university far from home I met Jesus and my life has changed and I found out that Don Bosco was always looking after me and looking for my conversion!
May the Lord Bless all the salesian family for all they are doing in the name of Jesus worldwide
- What do you think God is calling you to?
- Tough question without a clear answer now...maybe a priest?

I am in formation with the Salesian Sisters. I apologize if I just butchered the Italian. They have been trying to teach us the language.
Your comments and thoughts have been very interesting to read. :)
Let me know. That would not be a problem for me since I just need to burn the cd and send it.
Have a nice day I guess it s mornign in s. Angelo. I have to admit I had to look on google where exactly it is and how it looks like. Is the hispano community very big overthere? I love spanish.

so nice to see salesians are active everywhere! Don Bosco places are very nice indeed though I think that the best place to breath Don Bosco spirituality is the oratorio, don t know how you call it in english. In every single oratorio where you see salesian priest sharing and giving their lives for the youth there you have Don Bosco and the Virgin looking after every soul. Ina certain way they did look after me though very silently. I was raised up as a good boy, though not particularly religious, we never praied at home, except when my grandfather visited us and he used to pray with me before going to bed. Then I moved from home for the university when I was 18 and I was already far from Jesus. I became addicted to myself, I was very good at university and that was just thenks to my abilities (at least I thought so), I became sex addicted I was in total darkness even though I did not realise it! Then Jesus came at first I loved it and there started my conversion ...but I still was too convinced I could do everything with my own power and strenght. Of course I did not and I fell into the same sins as before. I was split into two I was serving God and the evil at the same time. Then I understood that without HIM i can do nothing at all, without HIS grace I am nothing. I need every day the power of his Holy Spirit to live to work to worship him, on my own I am nothing at all.
During a pilgrimage to Medjugorje I understood that if I want to belong to Jesus that must be 100% there is no place for warm catholics and since then my YES has been much closer to 100%. I discovered the beauty of chastity of opening up my wallet for those that the Lord put on my way and share with those that need it more than me the money that I have earned and I never lacked of anything.
Still I am not sure what HE wants from me. I sall be patient and try to listen more to his voice.
now I ve bored you quite enough!
pace e bene
Federico
