Beautiful our Marian devotion

Good morning.

In 1883, making his way before the crowd that cheered Don Bosco In Paris, a mother comes to him shouting: “They have imprisoned my son with everyone in the office where he worked. Tomorrow he will be tried. Save me, he is innocent.”

-Impossible, I don’t know anyone to recommend it. If it were in Italy…
-Ah, sir, have mercy on a mother. You can free it.
-Well, pray to the Lord and the Virgin.
-I will, I will.
-But prayer is not enough, a good confession and communion are needed.
-I haven’t done it for thirty years. But I will confess, take communion and do whatever you advise me to do. Yeah.
-Another thing. May you, from now on, be a Christian in deeds, not just in name. If so, trust the Virgin. This medal, for you. This other one, for his son.
And without saying for whom, he gives another third.

When she gets home, she tells her husband: “This one is for you. No one has told me, but it is for you, you know? It was known that you needed it too.”
-Well, I will also go to confess and take communion.

The son was free from the process. The good woman publicized the case so much that the entire neighborhood changed its life.
Surely we would be happier and things would go better for us if we followed the advice that Don Bosco gave to the lady who came to him.

Our Marian devotion is beautiful, isn’t it?

Good day.
