This mystical dream, or vision of Saint John Bosco occurred when he was a young priest, before prophetic dreams were a regularity in his life: for he received over 150 of them before he died. This vision was before the Oratory was well established in Turin. In fact, it was a time of great insecurity, because he wasn’t sure if keeping up the apostolate with these boys was even feasible. He was very poor and lacked funds and space for the 200 boys he was helping at the time. It all seemed impossible, until this vision put new life into him and assured him of his providential mission.
