Today is the Feast of St John Bosco
Fr. Don Bosco was a dedicated priest who took on blood-thirsty revolutionaries, the Italian government and his own archbishop in his quest to rescue the homeless children of Turin. This heroic priest’s undying belief in the boys he sought to help inspired them to fulfill their potential in the Catholic Faith. Don Bosco’s lifelong effort to save the children of the street became the foundation of the Salesians, one of the largest child care networks in the world.
Lord,
St John Bosco gave his life in the service of the young, helping them to become honest citizens and good Christians.
He enabled young people to discover the goodness that is within them and to express it in practical and courageous ways.
May we learn from his example and teachings and grow in our love of God and others.
Our Father …..
