FEAST OF SAINT JOHN BOSCO

Born in 1815 in Turin, Italy, Don Bosco was ordained priest in 1841. He taught poor young boys about God, how to live moral lives, and basic livelihood skills. He founded the Salesian Order in 1859 to educate more neglected young boys. In 1872, together with St. Mary Mazarello, he established the Daughters of Our Lady Help of Christians to help poor and neglected young girls.

FROM THE MAILBAG
VIA CABIO-ORG: Prayer

Sweet Savior, Saint John Bosco had a powerful love and tender heart for youth. I lift up to You the children and teenagers in my life. Protect them; lead them away from the temptations of the world and hold them tight in Your arms. When Saint John was a boy, he performed circus tricks to draw in the neighborhood children, and then he shared the homily he'd heard at Mass. Help the youth in my family and church become powerful evangelists to their peers. Bless those who have been gifted with a vocation to the priesthood or religious life, and help them say yes to this call. Saint John Bosco, pray for us. Amen.

Thoughts and Sayings of Saint Margaret Mary: Various Subjects

14. I admire the mercy of God with regard to the dear departed one... Happy the soul who has quitted this miserable life where there is nothing but suffering and affliction of mind, and where our salvation is constantly endangered through sin, the greatest enemy of the soul.
