RECOLLECTIONS WITH St. FRANCIS DE SALES

The Themes offer an opportunity to grow in depth, understanding, reflection, activity and personalization of Salesian spirituality.

Approach the programme with the greatest interest, seriousness, determination, abiding perseverance and sufficient personal preparedness.

Visualize the Salesian changes you want in your personality.

Like them. Desire them.

Pray for them.

Above all make daily concrete effort towards achieving them as a sign of our sincerity before God

who will surely give us the grace of a transformed personality.
