Saint John Bosco, also known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Catholic priest and educator who devoted his life to helping and educating disadvantaged youth. He founded the Salesian Society, which is dedicated to teaching and working with young people.

As a devout Catholic, Saint John Bosco believed in the power of prayer. He encouraged his students and followers to pray regularly and to seek the intercession of the saints. One saint that Saint John Bosco had a special devotion to was Saint John the Baptist.

Saint John the Baptist is known as the precursor of Jesus Christ, as he was the one who prepared the way for Jesus’ ministry. Saint John the Baptist also played an important role in Saint John Bosco’s life. As a young boy, Saint John Bosco had a dream in which Saint John the Baptist showed him the importance of education and how it could be used to help young people.

Because of this connection, Saint John Bosco often invoked the intercession of Saint John the Baptist in his prayers. He believed that Saint John the Baptist could help him to spread the message of the Gospel and to reach more young people with his educational work.

Today, people still turn to Saint John Bosco and Saint John the Baptist in prayer for a variety of intentions. Those who are seeking guidance in their lives or who are facing difficult decisions may turn to Saint John Bosco for his wisdom and discernment.

Those who are struggling with their faith or who are feeling disconnected from God may turn to Saint John the Baptist, who can show them the way back to the Lord.

To pray to Saint John Bosco, one can begin by reciting his simple prayer:

“Dear Saint John Bosco, friend of the young, teacher in the ways of God, your dedication to empowering disadvantaged youth is an inspiration to us all. Through your intercession, we ask for guidance in our own efforts to help young people and to live lives in service to others. Amen.”

To pray to Saint John the Baptist, one can recite a more traditional prayer, such as:

“O Saint John the Baptist, prophet and forerunner of Christ, pray that we may heed your call to repentance and turn our hearts back to God. Through your intercession, we pray for the strength to live lives of faith, hope, and love, and to spread the gospel message to all whom we meet. Amen.”

No matter who we turn to in prayer, it is important to remember that our prayers are always heard. Whether we seek the intercession of Saint John Bosco, Saint John the Baptist, or any other saint, we can be sure that our intentions are being taken to the Lord.

As Saint John Bosco once said, “The Lord has given me a very special adoration for his saints, and an ardent wish to imitate them.” May we all be inspired by the example of Saint John Bosco and seek the help of the saints in our own lives.
