Duc in Altum | DBFC Summer Camp 2026

Following their orientation and send-off gathering last night, the DBFC Summer Camp 2026 has officially commenced!

The aspirants and community arrived at Don Bosco Mambukal, where they were warmly welcomed by the community and Fr. Rosmon, SDB, Rector. Their first activity is a few days of immersion and exposure with BEC families, allowing them to experience the faith, culture, and daily life of the local community.

Inspired by this year's theme, "Duc in Altum" (Put Out into the Deep), the aspirants are invited to journey beyond their comfort zones, deepen their faith, and encounter Christ through the people they meet and the experiences they share.

Let us accompany them with our prayers and remember the generous BEC families who have opened their homes and hearts to our aspirants.

EVERYDAY WITH SAINT FRANCIS DE SALES

Far from preventing us from praying, sickness should in no way weaken our union with God. It can even bring us closer to Him if we truly conform our will to His. All that matters, whether in health or in sickness, is that we maintain and increase our relationship with Him. We can find God in sacrifice as well as in prayer. If we truly desire whatever He wills, sickness is as pleasing as anything else. The very acceptance of sickness is the most worthy offering we can make to Him Who has suffered so much to redeem us. (Letters 553; O. XIV, p. 168)

Father and Teacher of Youth, you who worked so much for the salvation of souls, be our guide in seeking good for our souls and the salvation of our neighbor; help us conquer our passions and human respect; teach us to love Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Mary Help of Christians, and the Pope; and obtain for us from God a happy death, so that one day we will join you in Heaven. Amen.

EVERYDAY WITH SAINT FRANCIS DE SALES

The glorious and seraphic lover, Saint Francis of Assisi, was for a long time moved by ardent desire to praise God. In the last years of his life, having been assured of his eternal salvation by a special revelation, he could not contain his joy. He wasted away from day to day as if his life and soul were on fire. Like incense, he burned with such an ardent desire to see his Master that he praised Him unceasingly. This desire increased each day until his soul left his body to fly to Heaven. Divine Providence willed that he should die while saying the words, "Lead me forth from prison, that I may give thanks to your name." [Ps 142:8] Oh my God, Theotimus, how sweet and how lovely was that death! A death that was a holy end; a death that was happy and loving. (T.L.G. Book 5, Ch. 10; O. IV, pp. 290-291)

As they prepare for their First Religious Profession on June 24, 2026, let us keep Nov. Naoki, Nov. Mario and Nov. Jude in our prayers. May their generous response to God’s call inspire many young people to listen to His voice and follow Him with courage and joy. 🙏

Giving everything is not loss, but making space for greater blessings.
