St. John Bosco (31 January): Father and Teacher of Youth | Loving Much Even When It Hurts

About this sermon

St. John Bosco (1815–1888), known as the Father and Teacher of Youth, dedicated his life to rescuing poor, orphaned, and abandoned children during the Industrial Revolution in Italy. Born into poverty, fatherless at the age of two, and driven by a prophetic childhood dream, Don Bosco became one of the greatest saints of charity, education, and supernatural trust in God. In this talk, we explore: The miracle of Blessed Angelus de Scarpetti St. Onesimus, the runaway slave mentioned by St. Paul The early life, dreams, and vocation of St. John Bosco How Don Bosco used magic tricks, kindness, and love to evangelize His work with juvenile prisoners and homeless youth The founding of the Salesians and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians The Salesian Preventive System: faith, reason, and love Why loving greatly always leads to suffering — and why it’s worth it St. John Bosco teaches us that love means vulnerability, and that true Christian charity will always invite opposition. Yet, it is precisely this wounded love that reveals the Heart of Christ. 📅 Feast Day of St. John Bosco: January 31 ✝️ Canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1934 “If you had to choose between never loving and never suffering, or loving much and suffering much — it is always better to love much.” 🙏 Ask for the intercession of St. John Bosco, especially for: Youth Parents Priests and educators Those working with the poor Men striving for heroic virtue 00:00 – Introduction 00:21 – Blessed Angelus de Scarpetti and the miracle of resurrection 01:12 – St. Onesimus: from runaway slave to bishop and martyr 02:08 – Birth of St. John Bosco and early childhood 02:28 – The prophetic dream at age nine 03:07 – Don Bosco’s first preaching through magic tricks 03:39 – A peacemaker even as a child 04:02 – Opposition from his own family 04:46 – Running away at age twelve 05:04 – Education under St. Joseph Cafasso 05:23 – Ordination to the priesthood 05:28 – Industrial Revolution and urban misery 06:00 – Visiting prisons and discovering his mission 06:19 – Street ministry and catechesis through joy 07:26 – Sheltering homeless boys 08:03 – Mama Margaret and the growth of the oratories 08:10 – Opposition from police and Church officials 09:00 – Formation of future priests and saints 09:10 – St. Dominic Savio 09:23 – Ministry to orphaned girls 09:30 – Founding the Salesians 09:41 – The Salesian Preventive System 10:25 – Don Bosco as a prolific writer 10:38 – Death and funeral in 1888 11:43 – Canonization by Pope Pius XI 12:01 – Father and Teacher of Youth 12:12 – Loving children as Christ commands 12:29 – Loving much means suffering much 13:22 – Final exhortation and prayer https://sensusfidelium.us/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/january/january-31-st-john-bosco-confessor/ http://catholicsaints.mobi/calendar/31-january.htm Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
