How To Pray the Rosary

How to Pray the Rosary 1. Sign yourself and begin with the Apostle’s Creed.




2. Our Father.



3. Three Hail Marys. Glory Be.



4. Announce the First Mystery. Our Father.



5. Ten Hail Marys (one on each bead). Glory Be. Fatima Prayer.

This completes one “decade.” Decade, meaning “ten,” refers to a set of ten Hail Marys, which is introduced by one Our Father and finished with a Glory Be and an aspiration (usually the Fatima prayer). There are five decades in a typical set of rosary beads.



Continue along the beads, saying the next four decades and meditating on the next four mysteries. If you say all fifteen decades, you will go around the rosary beads three times.



You will end at the centerpiece, where you may say concluding prayers if you wish.

WORKSHOP ON ELECTRIC SPARK

WORKSHOP ON ELECTRIC SPARK
The word electricity is from the New Latin ēlectricus, "amber-like"[a], coined in the year 1600 from the Greek ήλεκτρον (electron) meaning amber, because electrical effects were produced classically by rubbing amber.





WELCOME TO DON BOSCO VIKHROLI BIFOCALElectricity is the science, engineering, technology and physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charges. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known electrical effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and the flow of electrical current in an electrical wire. In addition, electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves.

“Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten”

SAINT JOHN BOSCO


Founder

(1815-1888)

Saint John Bosco accomplished what many people considered an impossibility; he walked through the streets of Turin, Italy, looking for the dirtiest, roughest urchins he could find, then made good men of them. His extraordinary success can be summed up in the words of his patron Saint, Francis de Sales: “The measure of his love was that he loved without measure.”

John’s knowledge of poverty was firsthand. He was born in 1815 in the village of Becchi in the Piedmont district of northern Italy, and reared on his parents’ small farm. When his father died, Margaret Bosco and her three sons found it harder than ever to support themselves, and while John was still a small boy he had to join his brothers in the farm work. Although his life was hard, he was a happy, imaginative child. Even as a boy, John found innocent fun compatible with religion. To amuse his friends he learned how to juggle and walk a tightrope; but he would entertain them only on condition that each performance begin and end with a prayer.

As he grew older, John began to think of becoming a priest, but poverty and lack of education made this seem impossible. A kindly priest recognized his intelligence, however, and gave him his first encouragement, teaching him to read and write. By taking odd jobs in the village, and through the help of his mother and some charitable neighbors, John managed to get through school and find admittance to the diocesan seminary of nearby Turin. As a seminarian he devoted his spare time to looking after the ragamuffins who roamed the slums of the city. Every Sunday he taught them catechism, supervised their games and entertained them with stories and tricks; before long his kindness had won their confidence, and his “Sunday School” became a ritual with them.

After his ordination in 1841, he became assistant to the chaplain of an orphanage at Valocco, on the outskirts of Turin. This position was short-lived, for when he insisted that his Sunday-school boys be allowed to play on the orphanage grounds, they were turned away, and he resigned. He began looking for a permanent home for them, but no “decent” neighborhood would accept the noisy crowd. At last, in a rather tumbledown section of the city, where no one was likely to protest, the first oratory was established and named for Saint Francis de Sales. At first the boys attended school elsewhere, but as more teachers volunteered their time, classes were held at the house. Enrollment increased so rapidly that by 1849 there were three oratories in various places in the city.

For a long time Don Bosco had considered founding an Order to carry on his work, and this idea was supported by a notoriously anticlerical cabinet minister named Rattazzi. Rattazzi had seen the results of his work, and although an Italian law forbade the founding of religious communities at that time, he promised government support. The founder-priest went to Rome in 1858 and, at the suggestion of Pope Pius IX, drew up a Rule for his community, the Society of Saint Francis de Sales (Salesians). Four years later he founded an Order for women, theDaughters of Mary, Help of Christians, to care for abandoned girls. Finally, to supplement the work of both congregations, he organized an association of lay people interested in aiding their work.

Exhausted from touring Europe to raise funds for a new church in Rome, Don Bosco died on January 31, 1888. He was canonized in 1934 by Pope Pius XI. The work of John Bosco continues today in over a thousand Salesian oratories throughout the world. No modern Saint has captured the heart of the world more rapidly than this smiling peasant-priest from Turin, who believed that to give complete trust and love is the most effective way to nourish virtue in others.

A Brief Account of the Life of Saint John Bosco

John Bosco was born on August 16, 1815, in a small town not too far from Turin, Italy. His father died when he was two years old. He was raised with tender love yet firm discipline by his mother, Margaret. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1841 and went to work in Turin, where the industrial revolution was attracting waves of young people to the city. The misery and abandonment of these youngsters moved John Bosco deeply. He dedicated his life to them and began youth clubs for them. He then started hostels and boarding schools, where he taught them trades. In 1859 he founded the Salesian Society and in 1872 the Salesian Sisters to work for girls. Three years later, he sent the first missionary group to Argentina. His work spread through-out the mission world, and today more than half the Society works in mission lands. The educational philosophy of John Bosco can be condensed in three words: reason, religion and kindness. The basic principle of his system was a deep understanding and love for young people. John Bosco died on January 31, 1888. Today the Salesian Family numbers in the tens of thousands working in countries all over the globe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012


Abraham Lincoln's Letter... Give it to your children to read
“ TRY TO GIVE MY SON THE STRENGTH NOT TO FOLLOW THE CROWD WHEN EVERONE ELSE IS DOING IT”
The 16th President of United States - Abraham Lincoln's letter to his son's Teacher when his son attends school for the first time remains an all time classic. At a time when moral education is being taken lightly in schools, parents, teachers and students would benefit greatly from reading the remarkable letter, which without being didactic focuses on values.
" My son Starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish you would treat him gently." This is how Abraham Lincoln starts his letter to the school authorities.
When students start school for the first time the experience could be unnerving. As in life there could be bullies in school too who could rag freshers.
Therefore when students enter school for the first time teachers have to treat them with sensitivity and care so that they start feeling comfortable and settle down in school. Once they are well adjusted to the new school environment, school life can become an, " adventure" with new friends and new learning experiences. To make school life morally productive and meaningful Abraham Lincoln says, teachers have to inculcate " Faith, love and courage", in students which in the present times is easier said than done. School days are rarely forgotten even after one becomes an adult. The GOOD and the BAD remain with us. While a teacher's encouraging word could inspire us to reach great heights harsh words become scars which continue to haunt us through life.
A teacher says Abraham Lincoln has to explain to the students that for every enemy there is a friend... for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader. Students have to be taught that, " ten cents earned is of far more value than a dollar found and that it is far more honourable to fail than to cheat" - these are lessons not just for school they are LESSONS FOR LIFE. Leaders are groomed in schools and who better than the great American President to know of this which is why he says, " Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone else is doing it.
Teach him to listen to everyone but teach him also to filter all that he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through." For students the present day education system has become so stressful and competitive that even students scoring above 90% are not able to procure a seat in a reputed college of their choice.
With sheer commercialism creeping into education our students have no time to stand and stare, they are losing out on, " Quiet Laughter... the mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green Hill"- all gems which Abraham Lincoln says go to make a sound schooling system.
We get the glimpse of a concerned parent in Abraham Lincoln when he asks his son's teacher to teach his son, " To sell his talents and brains to the highest bidder but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul, to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind, in GOD." The letter more than anything else reveals the mammoth responsibility which teachers have in shaping young minds.
My regret is that I read the letter now after having retired from 29 years of fruitful teaching. Had I read the letter earlier, my teaching would have taken a more poignant dimension. Let others who are still teaching benefit from the letter.
