St. John Bosco Comments
What do dreams have to with prayer? Aren't they just random images of our mind? In 1867 Pope Pius IX was upset with John Bosco because he wouldn't take his dreams seriously enough. Nine years earlier when Pope Pius IX met with the future saint who worked with neglected boys, he learned of the dreams that John had been having since the age of nine, dreams that had revealed God's will for John's life. So Pius IX had made a request, "Write down ... Continue Reading

Happy Feast Day! Pray for C & K. Please.
I was wavering in my mission of helping underprivileged boys. It seems a gargantuan task these days to find ways of helping them. My dream is to build a boarding school for boys mostly 'Over the Rhine" here in Cincinnati Ohio to develop future leaders.
Please pray for me. I am 73 years old but I feel called to use my last years in this world to help these boys

Happy feast day, St. John Bosco!
I was a bit suprised at how they didn't even mention Saint Domonic Savio, whom was a student of Bosco. Saint John Bosco even wrote a book about his life!
hi there people of christ.
Thank you Lord for giving us Saint Don Bosco. May his prayers for today's misguided youth be heard and may our efforts in teaching of Catechism to the young and the Junior Legion of Mary flourish throughout the world especially Australia - an extremely secular country. All is not lost and we put our faith in one who had to struggle against the odds and overcome the trials that were put before him. Despite it all...PRAISE GOD ... he, a mere mortal like us, is the victor for CHRIST Our LORD. We pray that our prayers, too, would be heard on high through the intercession of St Don Bosco, All the angels and saints and most of all, Our Holy Mother Mary. Amen
Very happy with the article of St. John Bosco father and teacher of the young. My prayer is that I will become like him very soon. Wish I could have his statue around me always to motivate me. God bless St. Don Bosco.
St Don Bosco, Give me souls!
