A born organizer, Don Bosco did not leave the devotion to Mary Help of Christians simply to spontaneous devotion. He gave it stability with an Association which took her name. First- hand witnesses saw in this institution one of the initiatives most dear to St. John Bosco, and the one with the widest impact after that of the two religious Congregations and the Association of the Cooperators.
The Blessed Virgin, like a good Mother, seeing danger threatening Her children, hurries to their rescue.
