Good Night Talk
DB Prenovitiate Seminary
When we were in the novitiate, we had an fortune to be visited by Fr Jose Carbonell, a Salesian pioneer, a antecedent provincial, and a former novice master. As far as I remember during our conference with him, the first question he asked us was the motto of Don Bosco of our congregation.
Whats the motto? Da Mihi Animas Caetera Tolle! But Fr Carbonell seemingly disagreed our answer. He said in reply, No, that is not the motto of Don Bosco. His motto is spirt! Work! Work! And he even jokingly told us that succession Don Bosco was dying, these three precious words were his last words. civilise! WORK! WORK!
St. John Bosco did not recommend unplayful penances and bodily discipline, but lick, cipher, work. With this attitude of Don Bosco, we could already march how Don Bosco was zealous in his day to day work. His bustling activity, something he valued real much, is seen throughout his life. This would mean to word that Don Bosco loved to work. Hehimself worked intensely and that he intended that all(prenominal) Salesians should work for the Church until their last breath. His philosophy of life, inspired by the Scriptures and by his reflections on the history of man, dogged the very central place which he gave to work in his life.
According to him, from the very beginning, God commanded Adam to work. He would still further beg off this by using a verse from the book of avocation: Birds argon born(p) to fly man in born to work. Work is written in mans destiny, without work the human race will perish. Don Bosco proved that work takes away evil desires and purifies men. He would compare mankind to a beehive in which everyone has to carry out a determined task through the disposition of Divine Providence. Whoever does not do it or neglect it is a parasite.
