"¿De qué le sirve a uno ganar el mundo entero si luego pierde su vida?”

En su último #AlégrenseEnElSeñor, el Cardenal Tobin nos recuerda que la negación de sí mismo es el camino cristiano y que la Cuaresma nos llama a seguir a Cristo por el camino de la cruz. @CardinalJWTobin

During Catholic Schools Week, I had the blessing of visiting St. Theresa School in Kenilworth, NJ, during the Triduum of St. John Bosco, the apostle of youth. This school is staffed by the Salesian Sisters, which he founded with St. Mary Mazzarello. The morning began with Mass in the parish Church in honor of St. John Bosco. Then, I visited the classrooms of each grade in the school. Thanks to Sr. Marisa DeRose, FMA (Principal) and Father Giovanni Rizzo (Pastor) for the invitation. During Catholic Schools Week, Don Bosco offers the following advice: “If we want to have a good society, we must concentrate all our forces on the Christian education of the young. Experience has taught me that if we wish to sustain civil society then we should take good care of the young.”
