about how St. Frances de Sales and Jeanne de Chantal utilized Salesian spirituality in their lives and in their letters to one another. I think this is beautiful, because Salesian spirituality emphasizes that God is our friend, and we should live from the heart, in his image and likeness.

John was born in 1815 in Recchi, Italy. When John was two, his father died prematurely. As a boy, John lived on a farm with his family doing the only thing they knew how, farming. Poverty and a lack of formal education in the home did not stop the growth of John Bosco as a person. His mother was for real, realizing the importance of God in life (http://www.sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca/rel/cath- boscocamp/about.html). Getting a formal education was a constant struggle for John.

First, she talked what a vocation is. “Every baptized person has a vocation, a call, to love and serve God, a call to holiness. How you choose to live out that vocation is what each person must discern” (NRVC).

The Jewish faith believed in the coming of a Messiah and the ones who believed that Jesus Christ fulfilled this role became known as Christians. Roman’s occupied Jewish land and the Jews were seen as second class citizens compared to Roman citizens. Jews were expected to follow Roman law and were often treated harshly and unfairly.
