More GC26 resources for those who wish to follow things closely
ROME: 28th February 2008 -- Chapter members have spent their first evening on Retreat, preached by Fr José Luis Placencia, Rector of the San Tommaso Community at the UPS, a Mexican, and professor of Theology. Should anyone wish to follow this retreat (if the opening talk is anything to go by, it could be an excellent source of spiritual reading), it is sufficient to go to the GC26 website via www.sdb.org, click on 'GC26 Retreat...' in the RHS list, then click on the hyperlinked talks once the retreat programme comes up. The talks will be added as they are given - in English, of course!
An additional resource along these lines are the major homilies pertaining to GC26 - again they will be added as they occur, and can be found from the right hand list. Photos are being added daily, and a link now also leads to the first of the video-information clips. This video sits in ANS, so it is simply a convenience to link to it from the photo/video page of the GC26 website. No additional cartoons today I'm afraid, but our cartoonist is working on it!
When there is time to do so we will add other resources such as Fr Aldo Giraudo's guide to places of the Salesian charism in Piedmont. So if it is a case of 'returning to Don Bosco' by keeping up with some of the inspirational material that GC26 members are given, then you could be well into the journey so long as your bandwidth holds out.... and you may be doing a little better than GC26 members on that score. The system has already shown signs of overload in digital telephony, integrated network terms ( read'connection'!). There will need to be a revision of how that is handled. There's also the fact that putting in proxy addresses and other small technical details is not everyone's cup of tea. For many, an acronym like ISDN probably means 'I simply don't know'!
Yesterday saw the completion of the department and region reports. The Rector Major's Report on the Congregation will not be released until after the Retreat.
