At the service of young people |
Throughout the history of mankind, there have existed men who will never be forgotten: Napoleon, Beethoven, Pasteur, Karl Marx, Leo XIII, and Ozanam... From a little village in Piedmont, north of Italy, a humble priest took his place among these renowned inventors, artists, chiefs of State, and thinkers: JOHN BOSCO. A priest guided from on High, and who had a dream: to minister to young people, especially the poorest. He was not only a dreamer but also a creator, an achiever, and an initiator: he wanted, in the name of God, to lead young people to new heighs in spiritual and human life. JOHN BOSCO: a gifted man, a well-balanced spirit, a will of iron, and an absolute love of God. A man who could see far and beyond. A just man: he would not allow anyone to mislead or abuse young people. Then, after having fed them, he taught them how to earn a living, and to build their own future. His only strength:
LOVE. |
