PRAYER TO SAN GIOVANNI BOSCO

O St. John Bosco, when you were on this earth, there was no person who did not appeal to you, without being kindly welcomed, consoled and helped by you. Now in heaven, where charity is perfected, oh how much your great heart must burn with love towards the needy! Well look at my present need and help me by getting me from the Lord (name what you want). You too in life have experienced the privations, the diseases, the contradictions, the uncertainties of the future, the ingratitudes, the confrontations, the slanders, the persecutions ... and you know what suffering is ... Deh !, therefore, o San Giovanni Bosco , turn your gaze kindly upon me and obtain from God what I ask, if it is beneficial for my soul; if not, get me some other grace more useful for me, and a filial conformity to the divine will in all things, together with a virtuous life and a holy death. So be it.

NB After the recitation of the prayer we recommend adding three Pater, Ave, Gloria to the Saint intercalating them with the invocation "San Giovanni Bosco, pray for me" and three Salve Regina followed each by the invocation "Maria Auxilium Christianorum, now pro nobis".
