(ANS - Rome) - The Servant of God Nino Baglieri, born in Modica on 1 May 1951, had his life marked by a serious accident that occurred at the age of 17: on 6 May 1968 he fell from a scaffold, remaining completely paralyzed. For him, 10 long dark years began, marked by desperation, closed at home with nothing but the company of suffering. On 24 March 1978, a Good Friday, at four in the afternoon, a group of Renewal in the Spirit prayed for him; Nino felt a transformation in himself and from that moment he accepted his cross and said yes to the Lord's project. We interviewed Liborio Scibetta, of the Volunteers with Don Bosco, who met the Servant of God.

(ANS - Madrid) - Salesian Father Rossano Sala brings his concern for young people in his DNA. At the last Synod of Bishops, on the theme of youth, he was Special Secretary. Last week he visited Spain, where he held a conference at the Ecclesiastical University of San Damaso and presented his book "Youth Ministry: Evangelization and Education of Youth" (CCS, publisher). In his opinion the Apostolic Exhortation signed today in Loreto by Pope Francis will serve to re-launch the synodal path that "does not end until it reaches every local Church."

(ANS - Rome) - The mission of the Youth Ministry Dicastery is to accompany the commitment of the Salesians and lay people who work among disadvantaged young people. In view of the World Consultation aka Consulta on Marginalization and Youth at Risk (Rome, 27-31 March), we met with Fr Daniel García, SDB, of the Youth Ministry Dicastery, head of the Social Works and Services Sector for youth at risk, who has traveled around the world learning about and accompanying experiences of Salesian service with the poor, the abandoned and the marginalized young people.
