Don Bosco’s love for souls wasn't limited to the walls of his oratory school for boys. He did apostolate wherever he went and with whoever he could, even while he was traveling.

Mrs. Rosina Ferrerati gave us an account of a casual conversation Don Bosco had on a train ride, which edified all the passengers. She said:
“... I went to Genoa by train and found myself in the same coach with Father John Bosco. He was telling his fellow passengers about the dangers boys might encounter roaming the streets, especially on weekends, and how at the moment he was particularly worried about those who lived near the Protestant church in Turin. In explaining his difficulties and his hopes for saving those boys, he spoke with such charity, simplicity, zeal, and selflessness that all were greatly edified. When we arrived at Genoa and he took leave of us, they all remarked: "That priest is filled with love for God. If he isn't a saint, we don't believe there are any."

Today I have two stories of Don Bosco's fervent apostolate with random strangers on a train.
