Blessed Paul VI, pray for us. For the Salesians and the family of Don Bosco, Paul VI was a father full of kindness and affection. The Salesians often had the impression of being the object of a preferential love, and he himself explicitly stated that he found in their sentiments the right key to understanding his teachings, even the most official ones. Towards the end of his life, Paul VI addressed the members of the 21st General Chapter of the Salesians: May you be blessed, truly understood and supported, and may you be filled with the graces that the Lord prompts us to desire for you and for the world and for the Church! May the Salesian Family always be in the vanguard of the living Church, in touch with the problems of everyday life, well versed in many different phenomena, but always human, always Christian. May you be true Salesians! If you knew how many people, how many events, we have encountered in the past, but your story moves us in a special way and gives us the joy and hope that indeed the Church of today may be that of Don Bosco, the living Church.
