Feast of St. John Bosco

 
St. John Bosco was a dreamer. Man, was he a dreamer!

But unlike our dreams, his dreams actually meant something. God was in some of them; Mary in others. He had a dream at age nine that told him one his life missions - to work with boys and set their crooked little hearts straight. The dreams continued for his entire life but St. John didn't want to believe they were divinely inspired. Finally, Pope Pius IX told him to write the dreams down in DETAIL. And so he did. Read about St. John's trip to hell here.

St. John Bosco died in 1888. He was the founder of the Selesians.
