St. John Bosco (1815-1888) as a young priest was hired as a chaplain in a hospice founded by a noblewoman. During his free time he gathered the poor and abandoned boys he could find in Turin for fun, for catechism and for mass. This he called the Oratory. At a certain point, the noblewoman asked Don Bosco (that is, Father Bosco) to choose between her hospice and his Oratory. His decision was quick. But it wasn’t an easy one to make. Why? 4th Sunday of Easter (A)
