A most blessed Feast of Don Rua to all! May he who, in the words spoken with great conviction in the homily during the Holy Mass of his Beatification on October 29, 1972, by Pope Paul VI, was the “most faithful, therefore the most humble and at the same time the most valiant of the sons of Don Bosco” shower blessings down upon the entire Salesian Family today so we may all remain faithful to the charism and mission entrusted to us by the Lord and Mary Help of Christians.
You can find his biography written by Fr. Francis Desramaut, SDB, here: The Life of Don Michael Rua, the First Successor of St. John Bosco (1837-1910)
Enjoy!
