Don Bosco and his trust

On the 31st of January, the feast day of Don Bosco, I took up the animation of the morning prayers for the community. It was one way of calming my guilty conscience that I'd done practically nothing special for Don Bosco this month. I chose to dwell on the theme of trust of Don Bosco. He basically trusted that God was on his side and that He'd see him through in any and every sort of difficulty. He took up initiatives which were humanly speaking absolutely insane. Yet he boldly ventured when he knew that it would do much good and that it was in the name of God.

Secondly this trust in God made him generous. He was generous because God was generous with him. Finally that this trust led him to be serene and joyful. There would have been a ton of problems and worries, but they did not deter or weigh him down.
