I take back opinion on my previous posting about the wastage of time in meetings. The afternoon sharing, though totally out of the prepared agenda - perhaps that was the reason for its richness! - was a very enriching one. For one we realised, we are not omnipotent. Therefore we need to collaborate with others, most of all with non-Salesians. In this process, even if we stand the danger to loose our name 'Don Bosco', be ready for that! True, what is more important, our name 'Don Bosco' or the goal which we are striving after? I remember Miester Eckhart's words (more or less): God, help me realise that the best way to come close to you is to get rid of you! So, kill Don Bosco!!! It is not that we are compromising on our Salesian identity, rather we are only taking it on a higher plane and truly living up to the charism and dream of Don Bosco.
