    Part Two: Community
    "Family Spirit is the hallmark of the salesian community and inspires every moment of its life: work and prayer, meals and recreation, meetings and other encounters. In an atmosphere of brotherly friendship we share our joys and sorrows, and we are partners in our apostolic plans and experiences." Salesian Constitution #51
    Formula of Profession:
    God my Father, you consecrated me to yourself on the day of my baptism. In response to the love of the Lord Jesus your Son, who calls me to follow him more closely, and led by the Holy Spirit who is light and strength, with complete freedom I offer myself totally to you.
    I pledge myself to devote all my strength to those to whom you will send me, especially to young people who are poorer; to live in the Salesian Society in communion of spirit and action with my brothers; and in this way to share in the life and mission of your Church.
    I make the vow for ever to live obedient, poor and chaste according to the way of the Gospel set out in the Salesian Constitutions.
    Father, may your grace, the intercession of Mary Help of Christians, of St. Joseph, of St. Francis de Sales and of St. John Bosco, together with the assistance of my brother Salesians keep me faithful day by day.
