1 God gave to him largeness of heart as the sand that is on the sea shore flll Kings. IV 291 SAINT JOHN BOSCO THE FOUNDER OF SALESIAN WORK What a charming personality! In the Church there are, we might say, some who made a profession of sanctity. I mean to say, if we give credence to their biographers, from the very first they had had the Calendar of Saints as a goal. Don Bosco had no time for this, and we can readily believe that if he became a saint it was not his fault. It was enough to look him in the face. Even in his pictures one never tires of looking at him. He seems so understanding. One knows immediately that with him one can act with complete confidence: that everything will be all right. There was no need to force oneself to confess with a countenance such as he had. It became a veritable necessity. Looking at him, one felt immediately the need to tell him everything, to confide in him, to profit by this precious moment in which one was again a boy and to ask him whether this blessed communion linking man to man is really Christ living among us. Yes, my song yes, my dear boy, beginning to be a mang look at this face, look at its goodness and its charm. It is the face of a man who could not help being a saint. And he did it for you! Then it will not be hard for you to believe in the Love of Christ! Paul Claudel Cof the French Academyj 7
