SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St John Bosco
DESCRIPTION:GENTLE AND HUMBLE OF HEART \nFrom a letter by St John Bosco \n◊◊◊ \nMy sons\, in my long experience very often I had to be convinced of this \ngreat truth. It is easier to become angry than to restrain oneself\, and to threaten \na boy than to persuade him. Yes\, indeed\, it is more fitting to be persistent in \npunishing our own impatience and pride than to correct the boys. We must be \nfirm but kind\, and be patient with them. \nSee that no one finds you motivated by impetuosity or willfulness. It is \ndifficult to keep calm when administering punishment\, but this must be done if \nwe are to keep ourselves from showing off our authority or spilling out our \nanger. \nLet us regard those boys over whom we have some authority as our own \nsons. Let us place ourselves in their service. Let us be ashamed to assume an \nattitude of superiority. Let us not rule over them except for the purpose of \nserving them better. \nThis was the method that Jesus used with the apostles. He put up with their \nignorance and roughness and even their infidelity. He treated sinners with a \nkindness and affection that caused some to be shocked\, others to be scandalized\, \nand still others to hope for God’s mercy. And so he bade us to be gentle and humble \nof heart.
