(ANS - Rome) - Don Bosco, a man of prayer and action, not only laid the foundations of an immense movement of people who throughout the centuries have dedicated themselves to the salvation of the young, but he also left all his spiritual children a great wealth of useful indications for never losing one’s way. Between what he used to say and what was later picked up and witnessed or heard by his contemporaries, and what he wrote himself, there are pages and pages of aphorisms that in a clear-cut and memorable style still offer valid directions for a beautiful, meaningful and holy life.
In view of Don Bosco's feast day, the Sector for Social Communication thought of selecting some of his famous sayings and made simple but eye-catching posters of them, which together with the saint's image still spread his enlightening thoughts today.
Below are 20 pearls that Don Bosco gives to all ANS readers and to anyone who still wants to set out to follow in his footsteps.
