Today, we celebrate the Memorial of Saint John Bosco, an Italian priest who founded the Salesians and the Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians. He was known as the priest of the poor and of abandoned children. Saint John Bosco was an exceptional educator motivated by love and confidence which he shared with young children.
In this way, Don Bosco - as he was known throughout Italy - was a lamp, shedding the light (cf Mk 4:21) of his faith upon those who benefitted from his conviction and love. The same is true for us as well if we dare to share the gifts that the Lord has given with those we encounter.
Don't try to hide your faith today because of fear or uncertainty. Instead, trust that our God is always with us, gently loving us and encouraging us to share the good news we have encountered with those we meet. Our God loves us so much that he sent his son Jesus so that we might know how close He is to us and how much He loves us.
Have a great day.
