The Immaculate Conception

St. John Bosco Told Us This Year Would Happen

. . .well known is St. John Bosco’s “dream of the two columns” where he foresaw the future difficulties of the Church, envisioned as a ship on stormy seas.  Several popes strive to moor the Church & anchor it between two columns which arose amid the dangerous waters.  The columns symbolized the two devotions to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament & to Mary Immaculate, the Help of Christians.  Calm & peace for the Church is won only when one of the popes finally succeeds in anchoring the Church between the two columns. . .
