I'm interested in his life and I was hoping to see if anyone knew about him or where I could buy The Life of Saint Dominic Savio by Don Bosco. Also, if anyone knew any prayers in his honor that would be great too.

Answer 1

Saint Dominic Savio (April 2, 1842 - March 9, 1857) was an Italian adolescent living in the 19th century, famous for breaking schoolyard fights, confiscating fake hall passes and his devout religious beliefs. Today, he is honored as the patron saint of juvenile delinquents. He died at the age of fifteen - the youngest non-martyr to be named a saint. He was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954.

Savio was one of ten children of Carlo and Brigitta Savio. Carlo was a blacksmith, Birgitta a seamstress. When Don Bosco (now St. John Bosco) was looking for priest material for his Salesian Order, the name of Dominic Savio was given him. Savio not only became one of Bosco's favorite students; he singlehandedly organized those who were to be the nucleus of Don Bosco's order; which is to say that, when in 1859 Don Bosco selected youths to be the first members of his congregation, all of them had been members of Dominic's Company of the Immaculate Conception.

According to the Rev. Clifford Stevens, "Dominic was a normal, high-spirited boy who sometimes got into trouble with his teachers because he would often break out laughing. However, he was generally well disciplined and gradually gained the respect of the tougher boys in Don Bosco's school."

In 1857, the fifteen-year-old Savio caught TB and was sent home to convalesce. On the evening of 9 March, he asked his father to say the Preghieri per i Morenti (Prayers for the Dying). Dominic's face became illuminated with an immense joy. He said to his father: "I am seeing most wonderful things!" Those were his last words.

St. Dominic Savio's feast day was originally held on 9 March (the day of his death). The Roman Catholic Church later transferred it to 6 May, when it is now officially observed

ST. DOMINIC SAVIO
Feast: March 9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a boy-saint who died at the age of fifteen, was one of the great hopes of St. John Bosco for the future of his congregation, and was canonized in 1954.
He was one of ten children of Carlo and Birgitta Savio. Carlo was a blacksmith and Birgitta was a seamstress. When Don Bosco was looking for young men to train as priests for his Salesian Order, his parish priest suggested Dominic Savio. Dominic became more than a credit to Don Bosco's school—he single-handedly organized those who were to be the nucleus of Don Bosco's order.

St. Dominic Savio was twelve when he met Don Bosco and organized a group of boys into the Company of the Immaculate Conception. Besides its religious purpose, the boys swept and took care of the school and looked after the boys that no one seemed to pay any attention to. When, in 1859, Don Bosco chose the young men to be the first members of his congregation, all of them had been members of Dominic's Company.

For all that, Dominic was a normal, high-spirited boy who sometimes got into trouble with his teachers because he would often break out laughing. However, he was generally well disciplined and gradually gained the respect of the tougher boys in Don Bosco's school.

In other circumstances, Dominic might have become a little self-righteous snob, but Don Bosco showed him the heroism of the ordinary and the sanctity of common sense. "Religion must be about us as the air we breathe," Don Bosco would say, and Dominic Savio wore holiness like the clothes on his back.

He called his long hours of prayer "his distractions." In 1857, at the age of fifteen, he caught tuberculosis and was sent home to recover. On the evening of March 9, he asked his father to say the prayers for the dying. His face lit up with an intense joy and he said to his father: "I am seeing most wonderful things!" These were his last words.

Thought for the Day: "I can't do big things," St. Dominic Savio once said, "but I want everything to be for the glory of God." His was the way of the ordinary: cheerfulness, fidelity in little things, helping others, playing games, obeying his superiors. This heroism in little things is the stuff of holiness.

From The Catholic One Year Bible: . . . The High Priest tore at his clothes and said: "What more do we need? Why wait for witnesses? You have heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?" And the vote for the death sentence was unanimous.-Mark 14:63-64
