Patron saint of youth; extraordinary example of how Jesus' "leaven" metaphor of evangelization works in some of the seemingly most hopeless circumstances; artisan of the moral imagination of youth via his sacred 'dreamscapes' - this man, no mere adornment of dessert, is well placed in the midst of Catholic Schools Week.
Visualize John Bosco.
Also of note these days is the unrest in Egypt, with a particular focus on ongoing plight of the Coptic Christians. But B16's vision offers hope.
Pope Shenouda, the Coptic Patriarch, is beloved by Egyptian Christians; and I think a taste of his words will help you see why...
Here's a way to prayerfully unite with Copts from within their own world of worship.
