In 1847, while Don Bosco was saying Mass [in town] at the convent of the Good Shepherd, one of the nuns let out a scream at the Elevation of the Host, jolting the whole community. Don Bosco was taken aback and barely managed to go on. When the nun later came to the Oratory to apologize for the commotion, he asked her, "What happened?"
"I saw Our Lord in the Host looking like a child dripping with blood," she replied.
"What does that mean?"
"I have no idea!"
"Know, then," replied Don Bosco, "that a bitter persecution is being staged against the Church!"
This dismal prediction was fulfilled only a few weeks later and will be the subject of today's episode.
