In this episode, six knife-wielding orphans challenge the peace of Don Bosco's Oratory, but their arrival is overshadowed by whispers of divine visions and miracles witnessed by the boys. Our saint had to deal with some real tough characters, but the Oratory school was also privileged with saintly boys, beautiful souls who had supernatural messages from God, which they revealed to Don Bosco only.
