....For Justice...take a minute to meditate today! FRIDAY Defend the lowly and the fatherless; render justice to the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the lowly and the poor; from the hand of the wicked deliver them. - Psalms 82:3-4 St. Dominic Savio was twelve when he met Don Bosco and organized a group of boys into the Company of the Immaculate Conception. Besides its religious purpose, the boys swept and took care of the school and looked after the boys that no one seemed to pay any attention to. When Don Bosco chose the young men to be the first members of his congregation, all of them had been members of Dominic’s Company. In other circumstances, Dominic might have become a little self-righteous snob, but Don Bosco showed him the heroism of the ordinary and the sanctity of common sense. “Religion must be about us as the air we breathe,” Don Bosco would say, and Dominic Savio wore holiness like clothes on his back. St. Dominic died in 1857 at the age of fourteen, and was canonized in 1954. - Rev. Clifford Stevens Fast from waiting to help those in need. Find inspiration from the life of the teen-age saint, St. Dominic Savio, and his mentor St. John Bosco.
