Authored by Bob Rice in Issue #31.1 of The Sower
San Juan Bosco, el santo patrón del trabajo con la juventud, era conocido no solamente por la manera en que les enseñaba a los niños acerca de la fe, sino también por la manera en la que les formaba en su fe.

Flat. Everything level and straight. Fields speckled with the occasional woods, a barn, a farmhouse. It was practically in my backyard. But then I... Read more

In many depictions of the annunciation, Mary is pictured as having been interrupted by the angel Gabriel in the midst of study.
