Bl. Michael Rua: A Brief Sketch & Anecdotes and sayings

We are celebrating the year of Don Rua, with the aim of coming closer to Don Bosco through the study and imitation of his loyal disciple in his dynamic fidelity to him. I was asked to give a talk last year to inaugurate this celebration. I made a study of the biography of the Beatus written by Peter Lappin under the title `The Wine and The Chalice.` The first part of this talk contains a brief sketch of the important phases of his life. The second part contains some anecdotes and significant sayings of Don Rua.

However, after twenty years, this naïve picture fell apart during my recent stay there in April 2008.

Attitude is everything

Anybody can have a positive attitude when things are going well. What really matters is its how you act when things are going badly that determines the strength of your character. An appropriate attitude means feeling hopeful in challenging times.
