Misticamente, San Giovanni Bosco offrì la Messa per i Pellegrini nel Duomo di Sorrento - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
"Mystically, St. John Bosco offered Mass for the Pilgrims in the Sorrento Cathedral - Painting by Dino Carbetta"...
St. John Bosco (1815 – 1888), was a man of God, who besides his many miracles and ordinary life of holiness, received visions of Mary and numerous prophetic dreams. St. Bosco also worked countless miracles. He had the gift of multiplication of the loaves, and St. John even raised a boy from the dead to give him the chance of a good confession. The boy confessed his sins and died, but this time he went straight to Heaven. St. John Bosco was ordained a priest in 1841, and he worked tirelessly with young boys in his neighborhood. His goal was to make saints out of them, and at least one of his boys became a saint, St. Dominic Savio. St. John founded the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales and was the chaplain there. He opened up workshops for tailoring and shoe-making to help the boys not only grow spiritually but have enough money to live. St. John lived daily for Jesus Christ. He would rise early, hear Confessions, and write letters to those in need for hours into the night. He wrote over 130 works defending the faith, and for that, he was hated by the enemies of the Church. There were numerous plots to kill him though none succeeded. Father Peek, stood in this day for Saint John Bosco and offered a venerable morning Mass for our semi-exhausted group of Pilgrims upon the High Altar. The main church in Sorrento is the Duomo, also known as the Cathedral of San Filippo and San Giacomo, which is concealed right in the heart of the town. Sorrento is not known as a pilgrimage site, but a beautiful seaside resort village. The Duomo dates as far back as the 11th century but was completely rebuilt in the 15th century in Romanesque style. I am sure Saint John Bosco would have been proud of the lessons taught and learned during our scholarly and spiritual pursuit.
