Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Advice

And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "Love the Church, revere the Holy Father, receive the sacraments often, frequently visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, be very devout to the Blessed Virgin, offer Her your heart, and you will be able to overcome all battles and allurements.

How often an exhortation to visit the Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady, to go to confession, or to do some good reading is the beginning of a lad’s eternal salvation! And let all accept the good advice gratefully. After all, good advice is not so plentiful, and we should consider ourselves lucky to get it."

"Never seek advice from the proud or the inexperienced."

"Unfortunately, parents are not always good counselors because they are not always guided by what is best for their son’s spiritual welfare, but by worldly considerations..."
