Saint Don Bosco showed me in a small way the sin of stealing. In a big chain store I was going to steal a small brush. I had recently heard of our great Saint Don Bosco and prayed to him. While walking down an aisle I felt something and felt a presence and knew it was Saint Don Bosco. Through an understanding he told me to put the brush down. At the same time I felt the sin of stealing. What the bad thing is about stealing that God told us, Thou Shalt Not Steal. What that feeling would feel like on a grand or larger scale, I don't know. I put the brush down where I was. I have never stolen anything again and will never steal anything again. Saint Don Bosco, please pray for us 🌹✝️❤️
What I loive about these early classic films on the lives of our heavenly saints in which many contemporary renditions lack, is its authenticity and how the Traditional Catholic sanctity of the saint was properly expressed. Many modern day films on the lives of saints have a tendency of trying to appeal to the contemporary nature of our population while playing down the sacred nature of the Catholic faith.
I only note that this film focused on the earthly good works of St John Bosco, but barely even referred to his mystical gifts. Because of this, I believe this film lacks courage and fails to do justice or recognition, that St John Bosco deserves and which might motivate and encourage the viewer to understand something of his connection to the divine, and seek the same connection in our lives.
Even though it was sad that Don Bosco had no money for school everything he learned from working in different jobs he was able to use that knowledge to teach to the young men. Not trying to compare myself to the saint, but it brought to mind that as a very small child my grandmother would make my big cousins, who were young teenage boys, take me with them if they went out of the house. I suppose she thought they would stay out of trouble I was with them. Grandmother was partly correct because they didn't smoke and other kids wouldn't fight with them. BUT they did take me through the train yard and we took shortcuts through alleys. I learned what boys could be like and they used to remind me that girls aren't supposed to act like boys. I remember them taking turns carrying me on their shoulders and I felt like I could see forever. 😊 Now I'm almost 75 and with a shortage of volunteers for confirmation classes I have a class of 14 to 16 year old boys. Seventy years have passed since my adventures with my cousins, but boys are still the same and I know how to talk to them not as children, but young men. I really love being with my boys! God must have had this as part of His plan for my life. 😊
Who else in the world care if not people similar to fr Don Bosco, who gave up his life for the poor kids. FATHER BOSCO, pray for us. You are my hero when I am in trouble.
I am so inspired with the life of Don Bosco. His love and inspiration with mother Mary, everything will be possible with the help of mama mary. Good works and Prayer.
In thanksgiving for my school boy days of the 80s at ST. JOHN BOSCO SCHOOL, in Hatfield, Manchester, Jamaica, W.I. This school for boys was run by the Sisters of Mercy, assisted by the De la Salle Christian Brothers. I later took St. John Bosco as my patrón saint at my baptisim into the Roman Catholic Church.

Such a good movie. Thank you for sharing. Pray for us Saint Don Bosco for us to strive to be holy like you. Amen

Such a beautiful soul, such a kind heart....What a man....how much like a Giant
My grandmother told me about Don Bosco:)
In one story.. As a child he trained his dog to jump on the back of a cow:)

Don Bosco is my all-time favorite Saint Person in Catholic Church!)

So beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏 thanks so much. From Manaus Amazonas Brasil 👋
I would ask my dad each year to donate a few dollars from his tax return to Don Bosco children and he always did.
