Miracles and Prophecies of Saint John Bosco

Don Bosco would say anything he could think of to help his Oratory boys understand the sermon, even if it included preaching about Monkeys. He wasn't above using seemingly childlike parables for sermons (even for adults) as long as it helped to illustrate the point, much like Our Lord's parable about the Lilies of the field. This is a wonderful parable that he told to his Oratory boys to help them understand the sin of scandal.

Wow, the monkey story. That’s a famous children’s book called “Caps For Sale.” Yes, children definitely remember stories with lessons more than just telling them what to do. I wonder if the Saint thought it up or if it was a known tale... Another great video, thank you, Matthew!

Yes, Jean, that was exactly my same thoughts when I heard Matthew recount it.

It looks like your beautiful dog missed his queue, but then again he was a distance from you. Listening to your story about St. Don Bosco and the monkeys, I was anticipating a reference to how Capuchin monkeys derived their name. Thank you for posting, and God bless you!
