To grow in love. Children, by their attitudes and expressions are great procurers of love. They feel, deep down in their beings the relationship of their parents. If that relationship is poisoned, the poison will run through their bodies, too. It will fill them with anguish and uncertainty.
Happiness is gratitude for life itself .
Children are the most important investment in one's own fulfillment and in the field of one's own personal happiness. They are a task, at times, arduous, but also a blessing. Salesians walk side by side with the young so as to lead them to the risen Lord, and so discover in him and in his Gospel the deepest meaning of their own existence. Like Don Bosco, Salesians are called to be educators to the faith at every opportunity. Our highest knowledge is to know Jesus Christ.
