“There’s a Demon on Your Back” - St. John Bosco | Ep. 214

In 1865, Don Bosco gave some of his best Good Night Talks to the Oratory boys, which I’ve combined to make this episode. The saint talks about how he converted a hardened sinner on his deathbed and told of some incredible local apparitions of Our Lady that were suppressed by civil authorities. The most impressive part is that he was able to see Our Lady battling the influence of demons over boys that were enslaved to sin, which greatly boosted my confidence in her.

All of these Good Night Talks can be found in the first few chapters of Volume 8 of the Biographical Memoirs of Saint John Bosco.
