'Look, you will soon face a dangerous crisis; the devil will try to ensnare you. To start with, he will tell you that frequent Communion is good for children, not for adults, and that once in a great while is quite enough for you. Then he will do his best to keep you from sermons by making you feel bored by God’s words. He will convince you that certain things are not sinful. Then you’ll have to tussle with friends and what they might say, with [dangerous] readings, with your own passions, and so on. Be on your guard. Do not let the devil rob you of that piece of mind and purity of soul which makes you God’s friends!'
(Don Bosco)

New 'baby' Bulletin born digital - Congrats to Khmer effort

SIHANOUKVILLE: 13 July 2010 -- There is a new Salesian Bulletin to add to the 56 or is it 57 editions now available throughout the world - the Khmer Salesian Bulletin, Cambodia. But it is a Bulletin with a difference, and this is possibly a first in the history of the SB - it is a digital native!
    
Commenting briefly on the first edition, which is available as a PDF on Issu , Fr Al Rodas, who has played a major part in involving the Don Bosco Communication Department at Sihanoukville in its production, indicates that the new SB is online because at the moment they would not have the funds to produce a printed version.
    
It is a start.  While it will not be possible for most outside of Cambodia to follow the Khmer script, it may be possible to note layout and even content in general terms, and Fr Rodas asks that "suggestions, comments, articles or files" for the next edition are welcome. Don't let him down! 
 
Year of Youth in the Philippines - a "providential opportunity"
 
MANILA: 13 July 2010 -- The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) declared
2011, in its 18 July 2010 meeting,  to be the Year of Youth in the Philippines. Upon the request of the FIN Province, in coordination with the FIS, the Year of Youth in the country begins on 16 December 2010, the first day of the nation’s novena dawn masses in preparation for Christmas. This Philippine tradition called the “misa de gallo” is meant “to preserve the Catholic faith” in this largely Catholic country in Asia, and the first day of these novena masses is dedicated for the intention of the evangelization of youth. 

In their letter of request to the bishops, FIN mentioned the visit of the casket of St. John Bosco to FIS (5-22 Dec) and to FIN (23 Dec-15 Jan) as a reason to begin the year of youth at the start of the liturgical year, not the civil or school year. The bishops 
indeed recognized this visit of “the father and teacher of youth” as a “providential opportunity.” 
    
While this provides an opportunity for FIN and FIS to make known the person and the mission of St. John Bosco to the larger church and society, the responsibility for the evangelization of the youth of the Philippines becomes for the confreres now much wider than those of their own educative-pastoral communities.
