Dream of Don Bosco
St. John Bosco (also known by the title 'Don Bosco'), was a dynamic priest who founded the Salesian Order in nineteen century Italy. His many prophetic dreams, beginning at age nine, guided his ministry and gave insights on future events.
On May 14, 1862, Don Bosco dreamed about the battles the Church would face in the latter days. A sign of that time, aside from attacks on the the
Pope and great adversity against the Church, was a Pope whose election would come almost as quickly: "the news of the death of the Pope coincides with the news of the election of the successor." Pope John Paul I died on September 28, 1978 and the current Pontiff, John Paul II, was elected on October 16.
The new Pope anchors the 'ship' of the Church between two pillars, one with a statue of Mary (Auxilium Christianorum or 'Help of Christians') and the other with a large Eucharistic Host (Salus Credentium or 'Salvation of the Faithful'). A quick examination of Pope John Paul II's writings reveal that he has truly anchored the Church to these two pillars.
