Saint Osburg of Coventry, Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman, Blessed Nicholas Postgate, Blessed Dominic Barberi, All holy men and women of England, Saints of God, The Vision of St Dominic Savio B M S J B In 1857 St John Bosco related to Blessed Pius IX a vision of St Dominic Savio: “One morning, while I was doing my thanksgiving after Holy Communion, I was taken by a strong distraction. It seemed that I was on a very vast flat land surface, full of people surrounded by thick darkness. They were walking, but did so as though they had lost their way and could not see where they set their feet. Someone beside me said, ‘This region is England’. Then I saw the Supreme Pontiff, Pius IX. He was dressed in a majestic fashion, carrying in his hands a splendorous light, and advancing amidst the multitude of people. As he advanced, the darkness gradually disappeared and the people were bathed with so much light that it seemed noontime. The friend said, ‘This light is the Catholic religion, which must illuminate England’.” Pius IX said to Don Bosco: "This narration confirms in me my determination to work without rest in favour of England, which is already the object of all my solicitudes."
