A YEAR OF DREAMS FROM ON HIGH

THE RECTOR MAJOR’S MESSAGE, Card. Ángel Fernández Artime, SDB

Dear friends: we are at the threshold of a new year, 2024, a truly special year because we remember the bicentennial of Don Bosco’s dream at age nine. This dream was much more than a pleasant episode in the life of a nine-year-old boy; it was like a dream-vision and a premonition of what he was to do in the course of his life.

THE RECTOR MAJOR’S MESSAGE, Cardinal Angel Fernandez Artime, SDB

At the end of a year, we all have a basket of memories in our souls. It contains what we have experienced, a year that was rich and full of pleasant memories, but also of unexpected events, and a year in which there was no shortage of surprises. 

THE RECTOR MAJOR’S MESSAGE, Card. Angel Fernandez Artime, SDB

Two hundred years ago, a little nine-year-old boy, poor and with no future but to be a farmer, had a dream. He recounted it to his mother, grandmother, and brothers in the morning, who found it funny. Grandma concluded, “Pay no attention to dreams.” Many years later, that boy, John Bosco, wrote: “I agreed with my grandmother. However, I was unable to cast that dream out of my mind.”
