“Let us leave a saint to write the life of a saint.”
—St. Thomas Aquinas
In the annals of Christian sanctity, Dominic Savio emerges as a luminary, guiding the path of the faithful with the light of his youthful innocence and zeal. St. John Bosco, the venerable servant of God, chronicles the life of his spiritual son, offering us a window into a soul graced with divine favor.
Born to Italian peasants, Dominic’s journey mirrored that of St. Pius X, sharing humble origins, a love for learning, and a profound Eucharistic devotion. Notably, Dominic’s sanctity allowed him early Communion, aligning with the future Pope’s vision, making him a herald of ecclesiastical reforms and a patron for young communicants.
This book, a blend of personal testament and historical account, honors a boy who lived merely fifteen years but whose spiritual maturity transcended time. Dominic’s vision, his devotion, and his love for God make his life not just an inspiring tale but a clarion call for all—to aspire to sainthood in the ordinary.
Let the life of “the Schoolboy Saint” inspire you, as it has so many, to embrace a faith that acts, to follow a sanctity that lives, and to pray for a soul whose love for God knew no bounds.
