". . . The great Salesian Educator St. John Bosco understood the value of establishing spiritual accountability within his famed oratory for boys that focused on what he called the Preventive System of learning based on the following principles: reason, religion, and kindness. Don Bosco developed the Preventive System as a means to instill spiritual accountability in the boys of the Oratory. The nature of his Preventive System could be equated to the Road to Emmaus discourse where Jesus took the time to proclaim the Gospel to the disciples, establish a sense of identity, and hold them spiritually accountable to proclaim the Gospel message as revealed in the Great Commission in St. Matthew's Gospel. . . .
"The premise of spiritual accountability is to incorporate confidence and love for Christ in daily living. . . ."
