St. John Bosco's Vision of Hell (Full Account)
Thursday, 19 March, 2026
Full account of Don Bosco’s Dream of Hell. This vision was translated directly from the original Italian in Volume IX of "The Biographical Memoirs of Saint John Bosco."Watch the video: https://youtu.be/SIcd905TlzkIn Saint Theresa of Avila’s Poem, No Me Mueves, (I am not moved) she proclaims:“I am not moved, my God, to love Thee by the Heaven Thou hast promised me; nor am I moved by fear of Hell to cease for that reason to offend Thee.Thou art what moves me, Lord; it moves me to see Thee nailed to a cross and scorned…”Saint Theresa of Avila’s words were the highest expression of a disinterested love, for she loved Our Lord ardently without any motivation by personal benefit. However, until we achieve that degree of sanctity, we need to be reminded of the pains of Hell to move us along the path of holiness.This is why hearing about all the horrors in Saint John Bosco’s mystical dream of Hell is a gift from God that we should appreciate and take advantage of. He didn’t have to give us a glimpse of the afterlife but revealed it to Don Bosco because he loves us. Listening to this entire dream should be done calmly and with complete confidence in God, but not forgetting that God is letting you hear this story so you can repent and suffer for your sins in this life, rather than burn in the next.00:00 Intro00:05 Pt. 1 How to Escape the Snares of the Devil09:30 Pt. 2 The Snares of the Devil19:16 Pt. 3 Entering Hell32:18 Pt. 4 Don Bosco’s Hand is Badly BurnedCheck out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast
