Saul shifted directions when his sight returned after a few days. Who wouldn't? He began to preach the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The change in him was so radical he preached the gospel even inside synagogues! Clearly, these were Jewish holy territories, definitely off-limits to evangelizing Christians. Paul's gumption incurred the hatred of his fellow Jews who drove him out of the city. Isn't it ironic that it was this Jew who had brutally killed early Christians thereby quashing newly-formed groups of budding Christians?
Saint John Bosco became the bearer of God's love to these young boys. With John's gift of
friendship, joy, love of life...he dedicated his life to service and reached out to these
children to provide for them both their material and spiritual needs.
May we continue to walk with others in the spirit of St. John Bosco and fulfill every human
longing for love, joy and meaning.
