PRESENTATION OF THE THEME FOR
STRENNA 2026
“DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU”
Believers, free to serve
Year after year the Strenna is offered as an opportunity for the entire Salesian Family to come together around a particular theme, so that – through prayer and reflection, listening and sharing – each Group’s call can
find food for its own spiritual, charismatic and pastoral journey.
In light of the Jubilee experience, STRENNA 2025, Anchored in hope, pilgrims with young people, gave us the opportunity to walk together with the whole Church to contemplate the mystery of Christ, the
source and support of our hope. Around the theme of the hope that does not disappoint, we were able to contemplate how the mystery of a creator God who visits us in his Son continues to sustain us today through the power of
the Spirit. It has helped us to recognise the signs of God in daily life – the concrete reality that reflects the mystery of God’s love for us. Hope is strength and confirmation of the “already” that we are experiencing and contemplating. It is also a source of courage and joy for the “not yet”.
