St. John Bosco’s Dream of Satanic Cats with Nooses | Ep. 3

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/AY0NcOE3ll4

Over a hundred times in St. John Bosco’s life, God would communicate to him through visions at night while he slept. He would later relate them to his Oratory boys conveying the lessons he learned and would refer to them as dreams, though oftentimes during these experiences he felt that they were entirely real.

Today we’re going to hear the saint’s dream about satanic cats that hindered his oratory boys from making a good confession...

'At that point, I saw here and there young men with a noose around their necks squeezing their throats and I asked:

“Why do you have that noose? Take it off.”

They did not answer but just stared at me.

“Help,” I told someone, “take that noose off.”

The young man answered:

“I can’t take it off; someone behind me is holding it. Come and see for yourself.”

I focused carefully on that multitude of young men and saw two very long horns protruding

behind the shoulders of many. I got a little closer to get a better look. Turning around the back of the one closest to me, I saw clutching the noose an ugly, big cat-shaped beast with long horns and a hideous snout. It lowered its snout and hid between its paws, crouching as if to avoid being seen. I asked the young man and others for their names, but they would not answer. I questioned the ugly animal, and it hid even more. So, I said to a young man:

“Look, go to the sacristy and tell its director, Fr. Merlone, to give you the holy water pail!”'
