"How much God has done through us!" the ever humble St. John Bosco (1815-1888) used to say. "But how much more he would have done if my faith had been stronger."
Setting a high bar for himself (and the rest of us), this tireless priest and friend of youth was also of the opinion: "Let us work now; in heaven, we shall have rest. How can I be idle while the devil is working? I did not become a priest in order to take care of my health. Anyone who dies from overwork will attract hundreds to fill his place."
