Kabwe (Zambia) 05/05/-2012.- Youth Seminar “Life Choices”. The Oratory director of Kabwe, Fr Mariusz Skowron has organised a youth leadership seminar with the title: “Heaven or Hell” to help young people from the parish and oratory to reflect on the daily life choices and its consequences in their lives and those of their families.
Two of the main issues the seminar aims at dealing with are addiction to alcohol and drugs. Unfortunately, more and more young people in Kabwe are prey to these addictive substances due to lack of opportunities in life. Continue reading Heaven or Hell
Jerusalem (Israel) 01/05/2012.- A letter from Fr. Joseph Czerwinski SDB to all ZMB Confreres and Salesian Family.
Greetings from Jerusalem. The time passes very quickly and there is nothing that we can do… (in order to slow it down – I mean here the quick flow of time, we would have to breach the speed of light which is not possible at the moment…J) This week we will end the course (lectures and group work) and on Saturday, 5th May, 2012, we will commence the 30 days Ignatian retreat. I must say that the course was well prepared. We have had the inputs on H. Scripture, History of the Church (Jerusalem and Holy Land) Judaism and Moslem religions as well as on a personal, spiritual discernment and growth in our Christian vocation. So far the course went rather smoothly. There were some minor incidents with the Palestinian and Jewish hostilities but we, and I in particular, did not experience major problems.

 In the midst of so much noise in my inner world, I’m so carried away that it’s only ‘’Me, I and Myself’’ that matters. Sometimes I wonder why it’s so difficult to get out of this inner world and listen to the other.
One of my daily experiences raised this wonder in me. As I wanted to have some peaceful moment in the presence of the Lord, just that desire to be there in his presence. I found myself talking all the time. However, I will share with you what the all talking was all about. I started with a short spiritual reading and as I began to read the second paragraph, I got stuck on one phrase that was talking about ‘’Doing the will of God’’. It read: ‘’Doing the will of God consists in doing exactly the opposite of what we would love to do’’. This sentence made me re-read it 5 times, trying to discern what the Lord is telling me. Continue reading THE WILL OF GOD HURTS; HOW POSSIBLE?

Bro. Joe with a boy
The Salesian coadjutor seems to be a species on the edge of extinction or rather stuck in a crisis where the possibility of surviving is next to impossible. Though a special attention is being given not only to this façade of a Salesian vocation [...]
