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.

Its a great way to look up facts about the saints
this made me realized something about my dreams. dreams about my service in the church. now, i want to share my dreams to anybody because i don't know what to do..
I have so many answered prayers throught the intercession of St. John Bosco. The most memorable one is when I prayed to him that I would see again my long lost sister. A day before my birthday, I whispered to St. John Bosco, "Surprise me on my birthday." And on my birthday, my sister who had not kept in touch with me and my family for a long time called me asking my whereabout so we could have lunch together. Indeed, I was so surprised to see her and my 3 year-old new nephew(our family never knew she already has a son and a family). From that day on, our family has stopped worrying about her and constantly communicate with her.

Don Bosco is one of the greatest saints who had a particular insight in the education of young people. His dreams were really powerful means of educating them and his followers too.
Today, August 31, 2010, some remains of St. John Bosco, my favorite saint and the patron saint of the church I attend every week, arrived to Monterrey, México after several weeks traveling through the country, so our city is being blessed with his presence today, there will be many religious events in his honor..there are several Salesians schools in our city so students and teachers are so happy with this outstanding event...One of the many St.John's advises was to be always joyful, always smiling...let's takes his advise and be happy all the time, no matter what! Tomorrow his remains will be traveling to the US where they will visit several cities..I invite you to look for info, maybe they will be in your city.. St. John Bosco, pray for all the Mexican and American boys and girls, I know you love them with all your heart...
