In the first place, certain elements from the life and person of Jesus are presented as the model for a so-called 'Salesian' spirituality and lifestyle. Those elements are outlined as an awareness that Jesus never abandons his fragile disciples, and that a genuinely Christian education writes on the hearts of the young. They are never abandoned in the challenging all-pervasive secularity of contemporary society. It closes with a summons to a deeper awareness of the universal possibility of 'the perfection of love' as St Francis de Sales (1567–1622) taught, well before his fellow Savoyard, St John Bosco (1815–1888).
