Don't look to man (saints), whether living or dead, look to Jesus who is the ONLY one who is the mediator between God and man. Jesus wants a personal relationship with you and doesn't want you to talk to Him via a third party.
Read the bible. It says "all things are possible to them that believe" and "You shal lay hands on the sick and they shall recover and the Lord will raise them up", If you are born again you don' have to worry about what others did, you can do these things yourself. READ THE BOOK!

John Bosco
Also known as
Don Bosco; Giovanni Bosco; Giovanni Melchior Bosco; John Melchoir Bosco
Memorial
31 January
Profile
Son of Venerable Margaret Bosco. John's father died when the boy was 2 years old, and as soon as he was old enough to do odd jobs, he did so for extra money for his family. Bosco would go to circuses, fairs and carnivals, practice the tricks he saw magicians perform, and then present one-boy shows. After his performance, while he still had an audience of boys, he would repeat the homily he had heard earlier in church.
Worked as a tailor, baker, shoemaker, and carpenter while attending college and the seminary. Ordained in 1841. Teacher. Worked with youth, finding places where they could meet, play and pray, teaching catechism to orphans and apprentices. Chaplain in a hospice for girls. Wrote short treatises aimed at explaining the faith to children, and then taught children how to print them. Friend of Saint Joseph Cafasso, whose biography he wrote, and confessor to Blessed Joseph Allamano. Founded the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) in 1859, priests who work with and educate boys, under the protection of Our Lady, Help of Chistians, and Saint Francis de Sales. Founded the Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians in 1872, and Union of Cooperator Salesians in 1875.

No miracles; he was sainted as an exemplar of Catholic youth. He died at 15 so he remains Forever Young.
