His Grace Archbishop Peter Machado of Bangalore has stressed the need for humans to rediscover the child in them to lead a joyful life. “People have lost their ability to laugh and be joyful spontaneously because they have forgotten to be children. Life has become artificial for them,” said His Excellency Archbishop Machado, the chief celebrant at the feast of Don Bosco at the Salesian Provincial House in Bengaluru on January 31.
As reported by mattersindia.com, the prelate said, “Don Bosco is a gift to the modern world. As a friend of the youth, he had striven to bring out the joy of childhood. One needs to love children like Jesus.” He also explained that a child gets engrossed in its own world. “Children are simple, natural, open, transparent, honest and spontaneous. The elders should learn from them as more credibility is found in them,” he added.
His Excellency Archbishop Machado also released a CD containing, nine songs on Don Bosco and three on social themes. The CD made by Fr John Francis was given to Jesuit Father Joseph Benedict Mathias, rector of St. Peter’s Pontifical Seminary, Bangalore.
