When John Bosco lived in Europe, many boys were orphaned and poor. Without families and religious training, these boys often got into fights, used bad language, and stole, hurting others. John Bosco might have been like that, too, if it hadn’t been for his devout mother. John’s father died when John was two and the family became very poor. As a youngster, John taught religion to other boys and got them to go to church. Encour-aged by a priest, John entered the seminary wearing clothes provided by charity. Priests realizing John was a natural leader and encouraged him to use his gifts to keep other young people out of trouble. He acquired a house for himself and forty boys with his mother as the housekeeper. Within six years the number of boys went from 50 to 150. Don Bosco opened workshops to train boys to be shoemakers and tailors. He en-sured they had a religious education, could play musical instruments, perform in plays, engage in sports and wrote books on Christian faith for boys. At that time, the state did not favor the Church, and for four years men tried to assassinate John Bosco by shooting, poisoning him and physically attacking him. Eventually, his enemies began to support him because of his good work. John Bosco knew God wanted him to work with boys. He had a dream where boys who had been playing roughly suddenly began playing together as happily as lambs. John heard a voice saying, “Teach them right from wrong. Teach them the beauty of goodness and the ugliness of sin.” When John told his mother about his dream, she said it might mean God wanted him to be a priest and care for some of the sheep in his flock. In 1859 John began a religious community of priests which is still active today, caring for boys who have been neglected. Because John admired Francis de Sales, he named the group the Salesians. Later, with St. Mary Mazzarello, he began a communi-ty of Sisters called the Daughters of Our Lady, Help of Christians, to help girls. Upon his death, 40,000 came to his wake. loyolapress
