Dreams of the nine years
wanted to share in the birthday of our beloved Father, St. John Bosco, the beautiful dream of nine years. Dream that led to Don Bosco and brought to Holiness faith and hope to young people ...
At the age of 9 years I had a dream that was deeply etched in my mind for a lifetime.
In the dream, I seemed to find close to home, in a very spacious, where he gathered a crowd of kids having fun. Some laughed, others played, not just blasphemed. On hearing the profanity, I immediately rushed among them, using their fists and words to silence them.
