[@tthomas148]

Hallelujah! Thank you so much for bringing this great hero of faith close to us in our homes from the books which are beyond our reach. These hidden truth lead us ahead in spiritual warfare. Ave Maria Look forward for more!

Often times we forget that Saints had difficulties in life due to the title Saint, but it’s just the opposite.

[@ryanrcrabbs982]

This work is awesome, thanks for posting

[@JohnLowell-xs8ro]

How the Church has changed St. John Bosco worked constantly to convert Protestants and Jews. Today the Church doesn't push conversion.

[@joeyof9]

Let's push this conversion ourselves.

[@shafur3]

Thank you for sharing.

[@MartinViju]

I'm a Salesian but I'm learning much about Don Bosco

[@dmbar1953]

Thank you Matthew for this and all of your presentations. Our RCC is in “dark times” now (as Our Lady predicted at Quito) and we need to know about, and ask for spiritual help from, saints like the great St Don Bosco. You present these stories very well and like a professional storyteller. May God bless all your work. Thanks again.

[@chrisfitzmaurice7484]

[@jonysanchez1890]

St. John Bosco, pray for us

[@uncatila]

I believe you are a true son of Don Bosco. Many years ago. I met a Salesian priest and asked him to be my spiritual director. He gave me a book about Don Bosco and I read it. Looking back I believe John Bosco has watched over my life.

[@AnnacolleenEtters]

How aggravating would that be, to be bothered, night after night? I understand why St. John Bosco might be bothered. He was reaching Protestants, as Our Lord reached Gentiles. This is why I pray for our priests. I also find within my diocese, priests who have passed. I understand that they can be in Purgatory, with no one to pray, as people forget them. This makes me sad, since they are the "fishers", and demons may too have bothered them. St. John Bosco; pray for us!

[@Daedal71]

The most magnificent thing is if these people were truly born again, even fooled by a religion of men, a long-suffering, gracious God still welcomed them lovingly into his arms.

[@donboscostories]

That's between them and God, for no one knows what's in a man's heart, but our calling is to go forth and teach all nations: to proselytize the Catholic faith. We need to try to convert them, because they don't have the tremendous blessing and grace of all the sacraments and is far harder to get to heaven. Shucks, we Catholics have a hard enough time and we have the Eucharist. Don Bosco knew that it was the only charitable thing to do. Plus, the Waldensians tried to kill him off hundreds of times, so I doubt if God would let those types of Waldensians in to heaven unless they truly repented. They needed conversion. Please see this episode to get the full picture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jISohWqXpqaWjLMsi=_3j7HXx8cG57Rz6d Also, if they were going to make it to heaven anyway, why was the devil upset with Don Bosco for trying to convert them?

How can we participate in the special Holy mass offered on Saturday for all the intentions

Satan was highly offended when St. John Vianney told him that he was "childish". In observing the games played by the followers of the evil one today, the same adjective applies.

[@Vinsanity997]

Is the waldensian story available in written form?

[@donboscostories]

Sure, here it is... One time, the saint was teaching his Salesians about a particular verse from the Gospel of John, "The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth." [John 4, 23] He commented that Protestants misinterpret these words as an argument against exterior worship, and he spoke about a tough debate he had five or six days before with Protestants in a private home: "To begin with, do you know what 'in spirit' means?" I asked. "It means that God should be adored selflessly and fervently in one's own heart, not superstitiously as Catholics do," they replied, considering our exterior worship a mere masquerade. "Were this really so," I rejoined, "I'd agree with you. But it is decidedly not. Anyway, let's continue. What does 'in truth' mean?" "It means that God should be adored in a 'real,' not in an empty way." "Did you say 'real'?" "Yes!" "Very well. 'Real' means something concrete. How can a concrete thing be only 'in one's own heart'?" Rather put out, my opponents had to admit that I was right. "Well then," I went on, " 'in spirit and in truth' must also be taken to read that exterior means may and should be used in worshiping God. Furthermore they also reveal serious doctrinal and liturgical dif-ferences between Hebrew and Christian ritual and ceremony. 'In spirit and in truth' means that all Old Testament rites and sacrifices-mere figures of those of the New Testament-would one day be superseded by a 'real' sacrifice truly pleasing to God. Read the first chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, and you will see a magnificent sacrifice being celebrated with all the splendor of exterior rite and ceremony-with altar, thurible, and incense. All this foreshadowed the solemn Mass-the real, true sacrifice. The first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles tells us that they met with the disciples in the cenacle to pray. The next chapter shows them offering the Eucharistic sacrifice and partaking of Communion at that gathering. The authentic history of Christianity's first three centuries proves that Christians, following the Apostles' tradition, celebrated Holy Mass with altars, solemn rites, psalm singing, flowers, incense, and lights. Read the fourth and subsequent chapters of the Apocalypse. They describe a sacred rite so minutely that you will think you are watching the sacrifice offered in our own {Catholic] churches. You will see the altar, the censer, the incense, the candlesticks, the lamps, the scented golden vessels, the elders' golden crowns or miters, the ritual bows, the harps, the canticles, and the procession of white-clad virgins-in a word, everything the Church uses for ritual splendor." When I finished speaking, one of the Protestants looked for a copy of the New Testament. All they had was the adulterated translation into Italian by Giovanni Diodati. I let them use it anyway, because I was certain that it would contain enough to convince them. After they had checked the passages I had quoted, I pointed out and explained a few others then and there. They concluded, "We really had never paid much attention to these passages." So I went on, "Now, tell me, how do your churches resemble Jerusalem's holy temple? Do you have altars, censers, incense, candles? Does your manner of honoring God resemble what the Apostles did and what the angels themselves do in heaven? Don't you think we are reasonable in imitating the saints and the angels as we adore God?" "Of course! Truthfully, we must admit we have nothing of all you mentioned." In conclusion, one of them-an evangelical minister-remarked, "This is something we shall have to think about." This debate and the Waldensian minister's misgivings dealt a serious blow to their position. As a result, these days many Protestants are turning to the Catholic Church. Infuriated at losing these souls, Satan vented his rage on Don Bosco by depriving him of his sleep.

@@donboscostories God bless you, thank you

[@janemary8339]

I failed to finish this one😔 too scary.

[@catholic3dod790]

Some of my family converted to anti-God Protestantism and atheists. 😐

[@reidamemer1]

Mary, Mary, Mary and once again Mary. Pray the rosary for them! She will never fail you!

[@MaterMultis]

To enroll in the Saturday Masses, what do you have to do? What is a promoter? Os it a monetary promoter or is it someone who merely shares the videos?

[@donboscostories]

All you have to do is enroll, but if you'd like to contribute to the channel to keep the lights on and everything ad free, that would help too. You’re ensuring that we continue on. God reward you for any prayers or help you can give!

[@uncatila]

Don Bosco is the immage of the Alterchristus.
