Finding Joy in Kindness

A young boy’s kindness and love inspired his friends and changed their lives.

Dominic Savio was a young boy from Italy who lived in the late 1700s. He became well-known at just 14 years old, not because he was a king or a general, but because of his kindness and positive attitude.

In school, Dominic was both a student and a helper to his classmates. He noticed that some of them were struggling—distracted, worried, or not thinking about God. Rather than scolding them, Dominic chose to show them love and support.

He would sit down with his friends and talk about his own experiences. He shared how prayer felt to him—not like a boring task, but like an enjoyable conversation. He taught them that being kind is not just about being nice when it’s easy—it’s about taking action to make a difference.

Today, we can learn from Dominic Savio. He shows us that you don’t need to be an adult or famous to make an impact. We can find our moments for prayer and choose to love God and those around us. Saint Dominic reminds us that having a big heart is one of the most powerful things we can offer to the world!

Let’s keep learning the saints’ way—day by day.
