Saint John Bosco Part I

"Whatever you do, think of the glory of God as your main goal" 

Saints Alive brings you the story of the humble and heroic man who gave himself entirely to those in need. Today, he is known throughout the world as the great Saint John Bosco: founder of the Salesian order and creator of the preventive system of discipline. But to his Sunday school boys, he was their beloved priest and mentor who loved to juggle and rescued them from the streets. Like all the saints, his life was full of adventure, so come listen to the story of the incredible Don Bosco!

Parental Guidance Note: We start the story of John Bosco with the scene of John in a dream encountering evil young boys that turn into wild dogs (3:18-3:50) Additionally, at the end of this episode, Don Bosco is brutally attacked by two thugs until he is saved by a mysterious wolf (18:11-20:12) Pre-screen at your discretion for any young ears that may be listening.

"It is not enough to love the young; they must know that they are loved"

Come listen to the second part of Saint John Bosco's story! In this episode, we will hear how his Christlike love transformed the souls he touched. John Bosco truly believed that each one of the boys he rescued was made for greatness, made for sainthood. No matter the obstacle, John Bosco never gave up when he knew he was following the will of God. And it's because of his persistence that hundreds of boys were rescued and the Salesian order was founded!
