Letters From a Young Catholic

My reflections as a Catholic young adult passionate about the Faith, seeking to grow in knowledge and understanding of God and discerning the will of the Lord in my life.

St. John Bosco


Just a friendly reminder that today is the feast day of
St. John Bosco, a patron for schoolchildren, students, and young people. With St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John Bosco looking out for us in a special way this week we students are in good hands. It's also fitting that the catechism class I teach will be making their first confessions today, on the feast day of a patron for schoolchildren. May he intercede on their behalf.

Saint John Bosco, you reached out to children whom no one cared for despite ridicule and insults. Help us to care less about the laughter of the world and care more about the joy of the Lord.
Amen
