As the day of his first Communion drew near, Dominic wrote down four resolutions, remarkably mature thoughts of a seven year old: 1. I will go to Confession and Communion as often as my confessor will allow. 2. I will sanctify Sundays and holy days in a special way. 3. Jesus and Mary will be my friends. 4. Death but not sin. As we shall see Dominic lived by these resolutions. Imagine a boy of ten trudging a total of twelve miles to and from school every day for a whole school year. Thats what Dominic Savio did, because the school he attended was three miles away from home, and he had to go and come twice a day. On one very hot day an elderly man met him and asked, Arent you afraid to walk so far alone on this country road? Im not alone, replied Dominic. I have my guardian angel with me. But surely you find the journey long and tiresome in this very hot weather! I work for a Master who pays well. And who is your master? God is my master.
