Review # 1 was written on 2021-06-17 00:00:00 Uvjjur Rgvrg This is a story of a boy saint, written by an adult saint - usually when a saint writes about another, the one written about is older, or from the past before the writer's time. This is the 1914 English translation, with some stories attached that tell of recovering from illnesses to health through this boy saint's intercession, in the years following his death. But onto the story of Dominic. He shows from his very earliest years a kind of perfection that might seem strange today. He gets to have his first Communion early at the age of 7 (back then the first Communion happened usually later). Then we follow him through his school years, concentrating mostly on his three years at the Oratory of St Francis De Sales where John Bosco was also, the adult who writes Dominic's story. We follow his life there, his friends, his religious excellence, and finally his final illness, which makes his last days being at home. We also get to know of his posthumous influence on his fellow students and others. The book does mention that there were other very pious boys at the Oratory, it was just that Dominic was a bit on a higher level with this. But it's not like he was flawless (part of it was due to his young age, no doubt - if he had lived, there might've been the struggling years to come...). His health was always delicate. He had scruples, and Bosco had to make him tone his mortification way down (due to Dominic's health and need to keep studying). And his success of influence on other boys wouldn't work so well now, of course, and I feel he must've been lucky many times without knowing it. But in the end, this is a good biography of a short life of a young saint, and doesn't take long to read. The perfection is probably just typical of saint biographies, especially since this saint is so young, and without major storms of life. I'm sure there might've been some flaws, since no one is completely without. Still, Dominic might be a good example, and inspiration, for persons of any age, and this slim book gives us its message well.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-10 00:00:00 Patricia J Riley A really inspiring book, about the life of a young Catholic lad, Dominic Savio (who was later canonised a saint), who was a student of Father John Bosco (Don Bosco, who was also canonised a saint). He led a really pious and holy life, and died at the young age of 14, one month short of his 15th birthday, preserving his baptismal innocence until his death. It makes us think; if a young lad can be this good, why can't we 'more mature' adults be like him? A highly recommended read. I didn't say too much here as I didn't want to spoil the book, but my review does not do this book justice. Saint John Bosco and Saint Dominic Savio, pray for us!
