DALLO SCRITTORIO DEL PARROCO
FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR
Questo fine settimana, come Famiglia Salesiana,
noi celebriamo 199° compleanno di Don Bosco!!
Ringraziamo Dio per il grande dono che Don Bosco è la
Chiesa, soprattutto ai giovani, e per il dono che egli è
stato e continuerà ad essere per la parrocchia di S.
Antonio a Elizabeth.
Certo, questo fine settimana è dolce-amaro per
tutti noi ... ..è è difficile dire "addio", e come vi perdete
la comunità salesiana, abbiamo sicuramente mancherà a
tutti voi! Padre Tom, Padre Javier ed io, voglio che tu
sappia che rimarrete molto nei nostri cuori e nelle nostre
preghiere, come ognuno di noi va nostre strade separate.
Inoltre, di S. Antonio a Elizabeth rimarrà sempre nel
cuore e le preghiere della nostra provincia. Grazie per
aver dato i figli di Don Bosco una casa in questi ultimi
91 anni! Tutta la nostra provincia sarà sempre grato per
l'amore e il sostegno che abbiamo trovato qui ... e per la
grande cura ti ha dato tanti nostri fratelli salesiani nel
corso degli anni. Grazie!
Mentre lasciamo oggi di S. Antonio, vogliamo
che il nostro messaggio d'addio a voi di essere nelle
parole di Don Bosco ... le parole che scrisse ai suoi amici
come un "addio", prima che lui li ha lasciati pel cielo.
Sebbene stanco e sfinito de forze, io non lasciere
píù di parlarvi e raccomandarvi i miei fanciulli, che sto
per abbandonare; ma pur debbo far punto e deporre la
penna.
Addio, miei cari Benefattori, Cooperatori
Salesiani e Cooperatrici, addio. Molti di voi io non ho
potuto conoscere di persona in questa vita, ma non
importa: nell’altro mondo ci conosceremo tutti, e in
eterno ci rallegreremo insieme del bene, che colla grazia
di Dio abbiamo fatto in questa terra, specialmente a
vantaggio della povera gioventù.
Se dopo la mia morte, la Divina Misericordia,
pei meriti di Gesù Cristo, e per la protezione di Maria
Ausiliatrice, mi troverà degno di essere ricevuto in
Paradiso, io pregherò sempre per voi, pregherò per le
vostre famiglie, prehgerò pei vostri cari, affinchè un
giorno vengano tutti a lodare in eterno la Maestà del
Creatore, ad inebriarsi delle sue divine delizie, a cantare
le sue infinite misericordie. Amen.
Sempre Vostro obb.mo Servitore
Sac. Giovanni Bosco
Mentre la comunità salesiana lascia di parrocchia
Sant'Antonio oggi, sapere che, come Don Bosco, vi
teniamo nei nostri cuori e che sollevare voi e le vostre
famiglie in preghiera ogni giorno fino a quando tutti
siamo arrivati a incontrarsi di nuovo in quel giardino
salesiano promesso da Don Bosco a tutti i suoi figli.
Dio vi benedica! Arrivederci! Adios! Until later!
This weekend, as a Salesian Family, we celebrate
Don Bosco’s 199th birthday!! We thank God for the
great gift that Don Bosco is to the Church, especially to
young people, and for the gift that he has been and will
continue to be for St. Anthony’s parish in Elizabeth.
Certainly, this weekend is bitter-sweet for all of
us…..it is hard to say “good-bye” and as you will miss
the Salesian community, we surely will miss all of you!
Father Tom, Father Javier and myself, want you to know
that you will remain very much in our hearts and in our
prayers as we each go our separate ways. Moreover, St.
Anthony’s in Elizabeth will always remain in the heart
and prayers of our province. Thank you for giving Don
Bosco’s sons a home these past 91 years! All of our
province will always be grateful for the love and support
we have found here….and for the great care you gave so
many of our brother Salesians throughout the years.
Thank you!
As we leave St. Anthony’s today, we want our
parting message to you to be in Don Bosco’s own
words….the words he wrote to his friends as a “farewell”
before he left them for heaven.
“Now that I am at the end of my life, and though
I am tired and completely exhausted, I don’t want to
leave my children without speaking to them and advising
them, jotting down a few thoughts, before putting down
my pen.
Farewell, my dear benefactors and cooperators;
farewell! I have not been able to meet many of you in
person in this life, but it doesn’t matter; in the next world
we will all meet each other, and in eternity, we will
rejoice together over the good, that, by the grace of God,
we have done on this earth, especially for the benefit of
poor young people. If, after my death, the Divine Mercy,
through the merits of Jesus Christ, and with the
protection of Mary Help of Christians, finds me worthy
of being received into paradise, I will always pray for
you; I will pray for your families; I will pray for your
dear ones, so that one day, in eternity, everyone will
come together to praise the majesty of the Creator, and
to become intoxicated with his divine joys and to sing his
infinite mercies. Amen.
Always your servant,
Don Giovanni Bosco
As the Salesian community leaves St. Anthony’s
parish today, know that like Don Bosco, we hold you in
our hearts and will lift you and your families in prayer
every day until we all come to meet again in that
Salesian Garden promised by Don Bosco to all of his
children.
God bless you! Arrivederci! Adios! Until later!

DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PÁRROCO
Al celebrar la Familia Salesiana, este fin de
semana, el 199 cumpleaños de Don Bosco, damos gracias
a Dios por el don de Don Bosco a la Iglesia, especialmente
a los jóvenes, y por el don que ha sido y continuará
siéndolo a la parroquia de San Antonio en Elizabeth.
Este fin de semana es ciertamente agridulce para
todos nosotros… cuesta tener que decir “adiós” porque
Ustedes echarán de menos la presencia de la comunidad
salesiana, y nosotros pueden estar seguros, ¡los echaremos
de menos a todos Ustedes! El P. Tom, el P. Javier y yo,
queremos que sepan que los llevamos a todos Ustedes en
nuestro corazón y en nuestras oraciones al ir cada uno al
lugar de su destino. Y también pueden estar seguros que
San Antonio se quedará en el corazón y oraciones de
nuestra provincia salesiana. ¡Gracias por la hospitalidad
que han ofrecido Ustedes a los hijos de Don Bosco por 91
años! Nuestra provincia estará siempre agradecida por el
amor y el apoyo que hemos encontrado aquí… y por el
cuidado que han tenido de tantos de nuestros hermanos
Salesianos durante estos años. ¡Gracias, mil!
Al dejar hoy la parroquia de San Antonio,
queremos que el mensaje de despedida sea con palabras
del mismo Don Bosco… las palabras que él escribió a sus
amigos como el “último adiós” antes de dejarles para ir al
Cielo.
“Ahora que sé que he llegado al final de mi vida,
y aunque estoy cansado y casi sin fuerzas, no quiero dejar
a mis hijos sin hablarles y darles algún buen consejo,
dejándoles escritos algunos pensamientos.
¡Adiós, mis queridos cooperadores y
bienhechores; adiós! No he podido conocer a muchos de
Ustedes en persona, pero da lo mismo; nos veremos en el
otro mundo, y por toda la eternidad, nos regocijaremos
por todo el bien que, por la gracia de Dios, hemos hecho
en esta tierra, especialmente a favor de los jóvenes pobres.
Si, después de mi muerte, la Divina Misericordia, por los
méritos de Jesucristo, y la protección de María Auxilio de
los Cristianos, me consideran digno de entrar en el
paraíso, Rogaré siempre por Ustedes; rogaré por sus
familias; rogaré por todas sus personas queridas, para
que un día, en la eternidad, todos nos unamos para alabar
la majestad del Creador, y quedemos intoxicados con el
gozo divino de cantar su infinita misericordia.
Siempre su servidor,
Don Juan Bosco
Al dejar hoy la parroquia de San Antonio, sepan
que como Don Bosco, les llevamos en nuestros corazones
y elevaremos nuestras oraciones al Cielo por Ustedes y por
todas sus familias hasta que todos unidos nos reunamos en
el Jardín Salesiano que Don Bosco prometió a sus hijos.
¡Que el Señor los bendigo a todos!
Arrivederci! Adios! Until later!
