Some vernier calipers were stolen the other day from the machine shop by a student. I feel sad. It's like that story of a dog biting the hands of the guy that feeds it.
But even at Don Bosco's time, the first "boarders" whom he gave shelter to ran off with his blankets and pillows. I wonder what if Don Bosco stopped there and said: " From now on, I will never trust these brats!" - then it would have been a disaster. I would not be here today doing this.
Thank you Don Bosco for not losing your faith in them. But you better help me do something about mine... and don't let anyone steal that (faith) away from me.
