This can make us hyperactive and tensed in our daily activities. As important as our mission may be, our students, staff, and members of our own community will believe us to be authentic Salesians only if they feel that those around them are easily approachable because they radiate gentleness, joy, and authentic concern for others! When you have to make arrangements, settle quarrels, or win others to your views, take care to be as mild as possible."},{"ID":4512,"post_title":"Don Bosco and the Gentle Saint","Authorname":"Rev.Fr.

The Church has celebrated Mary\u2019s birth since at least the sixth century. Scripture does not give an account of Mary\u2019s birth. However, the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James fills in the gap. This work has no historical value, but it does reflect the development of Christian piety."},{"ID":4469,"post_title":"Our Personal Capacity-Building mindset","Authorname":"Rev.Fr. K.M.
