St. Dominic Savio

As a theme of this week has been youth, today I salute St. Dominic Savio. Here is a young man who was saintly at a very young age, proving the point that the virtues may be encouraged in children.

So many parents cannot imagine saintly children, but as I wrote in an earlier post, families can be holy and can pass on holiness.

The story of this sweet saint may be found here. St. Dominic Savio, pray for us and all young people throughout the world today.
