Saint of the Day – May 15
Saint Dominic Savio (1842-1857) was
a young man under the spiritual care of Saint John Bosco.
He began to study for the priesthood
until he became ill and died at the age of 14.
When he was still only 12 years old,
Dominic set down four rules by which he would live and become a saint.
They are simple and beautiful:
They are simple and beautiful:
1. I will go to Confession and to
Communion often.
2. I will keep holy the feasts days.
3. Jesus will be my best friend.
4. And I would rather die than to commit
a sin.
How is that for a list of resolutions? Only
a child would love so simply.
If we could keep these four resolutions
in our hearts with love, each of us would become a great saint.
By the way, this would be a great little
list to give young people at the First Communion and Confirmation. This should
be printed up on holy cards. I'd buy 100 of them!
Please print these four resolution and
put in on your mirror to remind you every morning the simple and small way to
sainthood.
Also, please forward this on to your
friends for their edification.
