In this part of the
world where the Salesian’s presence is less than 15 years and the celebration
of Bicentenary of Don Bosco was the great privileged occasion to make him
known, relive his spirit and breathe his air. While the young people of all
over the world travelled to birth place of Don Bosco (Becchi,Turin) we too have
travelled together with the rest of the world by our tridumn. During these
three days we have journey together with Don Bosco.
The tridumn was conducted with quiz for the
young and old alike. His love for work in different trades was relived among us
today. The children, youth, and adults were divided in different groups for
crafts, tailoring, cooking etc. To bring back fresh of his wondering Oratory
was organized by going to the
river side away from the centre. Unlike his time,
we have not only young people for the oratory but the children, old and aged as
well. Conducted various games and had fun and joy. Of course, we did not end
with that. The prayer life and his quality time with the Lord were very much
seen. On the last day of the tridumn we had spiritual food served. The
Sacraments of reconciliation, Eucharistic celebration and 2 hours Taize Prayer
service from 8.00pm – 10.00pm.
The climax of the celebration was on the
16th August on his day of birth. We culminated in the Holy Eucharistic
celebration. The bicentenary of birth of Don Bosco brings the birth of 7 new
Salesian Co-operators in our family. During the homily when Fr.Andrew Trung Sdb
asked them “who is Don
Bosco?” the parishioners replied; “He is
the friend of youth, a teacher, a Priest etc.” But to me Don Bosco is not only
the friend of youth but also children and old. I see how our children and old
people participated in all the programmes and early to know more about him.
Yes, Don Bosco is very much alive in
Mongolia. Long live Don Bosco!.
