The sacrament of Penance…
Now let me tell you something about the sacrament of Penance. To draw fruit from this sacrament, it is not enough to go to confession frequently. One must also honestly strive to not sin.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Love one another…
Remember the precept that St. John the Evangelist used to give to his disciples: “Love one another.” Since it is not a mere exhortation, but a command, it would be sinful to do otherwise. Therefore, do away with insults, quarrels, envy, revenge, mockery, or bad will. Be good to one another. This will prove that you love each other like brothers.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
The true Christian…
The true Christian should be willing to endure the sufferings of the spirit as Jesus Christ did when He was betrayed by one of His disciples, denied by another, and abandoned by all.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
What others think or say…
Be brave, do not be led by what others think or say!
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Our three enemies…
Three enemies of man are: Death, which overtakes him by surprise; Time, which keeps slipping by; the devil, who seeks to ensnare him.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
