``Woe to me if I do not share the Good News`` (1 Cor 9:16).
The Church is missionary by her very nature (RM 62). Our Salesian vocation places us at the heart of the Church, and hence, missionary. Right from the beginning, Don Bosco wanted the Salesians to have a real commitment to evangelization and mission ad gentes in particular (RM3). Don Bosco handed on the missionary ideal to the whole Salesian Family as a constitutive element of his spiritual and apostolic heritage. Immediately after the approval of the Constitutions in 1874, he sent the first missionary expedition on 11 November 1875.

Dear Confreres,
We have been reflecting on the theme ``Blessed Michael Rua: An Epitome of Obedience and Exercise of Authority``. We have already presented the following points in the last circular: Obedience as the hallmark of Religious life today; Michael Rua, a Disciplined Person; Obedience and the Fidelity to the Rule. This is a continuation of our reflections on the same theme...

Obedience as the hallmark of Religious life today:
Though all the three vows are important and are basic to consecrated life, today more than in the past, the vow of obedience seems to take an important place due to the fact that individuals would like to retain their uniqueness and identity. They wouldn`t like to sacrifice their individual identity and personality for any lofty motive (even if they are very religious in nature). In this context, the vow of obedience has come under severe scrutiny by all concerned. How do we interpret the vow of obedience in today`s context when individualism and self-realization reign supreme and are considered as absolute?
