Day Four - Awakening a Family Likeness

 

Don Bosco emphasised the family spirit in his communities.

Lord you remind us in the scriptures that everyone moved by the Spirit is a son or a daughter of God. So it is as if we are recognising a family likeness in others, a likeness that makes each person a sacrament: an outward sign of your inner presence.

Lord, help us to recognise that every gathering of two or three people is potentially a family reunion when viewed through the eyes of love, of justice.

 

Hail Mary ...
Saint John Bosco, pray for us.
