St. John Bosco
Be cheerful, do good, and let the sparrows chirp.
What do you think it means?
Giovanni Bosco lived in the 19th century. He was born into a very poor family in northern Italy. Giovanni craved to learn and this caused serious hostility from one of his older brothers. His life in the family home became so unbearable that he had to leave it at the age of 12. He found kind and supportive adults and, against all odds, finished his education all the way through college. He became a priest and started serving in different parishes. In his native Italian people addressed him as a priest: “Don Bosco” and this is how the rest of the world calls him today.
Whatever you accomplished in life, you could not have done it without support from kind people.
Who are they? Take a minute to bless them.
The 19th century in the Western world means wild industrialization with savage exploitation of workers. Time comp, unions, pensions, insurance etc., still belong to the realm of science fiction. Parents work from sunrise to sunset, public schooling is not available yet, so teenagers roam streets all day – looking for work or looking for trouble. Don Bosco starts to reach out to teenage boys around his parish. He plays soccer with them, tells them stories, and listens to them. They sing and laugh together. And… what do you know – his parishioners take offence. He is supposed to sit in church and pray. He is supposed to spend time with them – the adults. They start a slander campaign against him. Yet, some people admire his ministry. One family donates him a house where Don Bosco can move his ever-growing group of teens. Soon enough neighbors start a campaign against it – too much noise and too many scary kids around the neighborhood. The pattern of moving from house to house chased away by good people who hate the noise repeats itself a number of times. Finally, Don Bosco moves into a bigger house outside the city. By now, there are already a few hundred boys in his ministry. He teaches them the 3Rs and religion. He looks for work for them. He demands from employers to promise him not to beat the boys they take as workers.
Some of the boys steal from Don Bosco’s house, from his parishioners, or from their employers. Some start fights. Some are rude and demanding. Some priests portray Don Bosco to the bishop as a madman or as a heretic who takes kids out of churches. The bishop reprimands Don Bosco severely without bothering to investigate on site. Local politicians fear Communist revolution and suspect Don Bosco of political ambitions as a worker leader. There are a few assassination attempts on Don Bosco.
Which part of Don Bosco’s cuddly youth ministry would you consider as less nice? If you lived in Turin at that time, would you support or oppose Don Bosco? Did you say: “Support”? Oh, come on. You are kidding yourself.
Finally, Don Bosco gets very sick. The stress takes its toll. He lands up in a hospital. The boys are very distressed but they are not allowed to come and see him. Hundreds of them stand on the street looking at his hospital window and wave. They organize themselves into orderly groups. They take turns in twos to come and visit him. The whole neighborhood – first terrified at the sight of hundreds of “hooligans” – comes to admire their discipline and love for Don Bosco. People discover how different these boys are from their countless unmannered and neglected peers around the city. Politicians who rack their brains how to address the teenage homelessness and vandalism in the city see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even anti-church decision-makers recognize value in Don Bosco’s work.
What does Jesus mean when he says: “By their fruit you will recognize them?” (Mt 7:16) What fruit did people in Turin notice?
What fruit can people notice in you? Do you know the fruits of the Spirit by heart? Google them.
How can we prevent burn-out in our ministries? Don Bosco recovers. His mother moves from the countryside to his house in Turin. She cooks and cleans for him. Young adult men join him and become leaders of boys. Maria Mazzarello and a group of women start a ministry for girls. Married people support both ministries by becoming volunteers or even members of Don Bosco’s religious organization. Soon the groups develop into Salesian Fathers, Salesian Sisters, and Salesian Cooperators. The Queen of England hears of this successful way of addressing marauding teenagers in industrialized cities and sends her representatives to learn more. The king of Italy follows suit (and he should have been first to do it, right?). Soon Don Bosco receives wide support from people inside and outside the Church.
Today the Salesian Fathers is the biggest Catholic male religious order in the world. There are a number of female communities who serve young people following Don Bosco’s spirituality. Think of the millions of teenagers in many countries being helped by men and women who chose to give their lives for young people instead of pursuing their own careers, getting married, buying a nice house with a pool, etc.
What do you tell God after learning more about Don Bosco?
What do you think of Don Bosco’s advice to others:
“Be cheerful, do good, and let the sparrows chirp.”?

Before you read John 20.
Mary Magdalene or Mary of Magdala is a very good friend of Jesus. Jesus died on Friday. Starting Friday night + the whole Saturday Jewish people are not allowed to work.

An Apostle is a close collaborator of Jesus, handpicked by Jesus Himself.
A disciple (de – SI – pel ) is a person who admires Jesus and becomes His student and follower.

The Empty Tomb
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Please answer:
Q10: What do you think Jesus means when he says: “blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed”
