She said that my ministry would help to anchor souls to the Two Pillars of the Eucharist and Mary in Bosco&#8217;s dream. I remember weeping from the core of my soul as I read her unexpected letter.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">As I look back now at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/Songs.html\">Rosary CD<\/a> I produced, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/Songs.html\">Divine Mercy Chaplet<\/a>, and the evenings of Eucharistic Adoration I have been priviledged to lead with many holy priests, as I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/Concerts.html\">will again tonight<\/a>, I can&#8217;t help but smile as I ponder Bosco&#8217;s dream. Moreover, this ministry has been one of repeating the prophetic and powerful words of the Holy Fathers that seem to cut through the fog of apostasy like a blaring beacon of light on the harbor&#8217;s edge.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">In St. John Bosco&#8217;s dream, he sees&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The new Pope, putting the enemy to rout and overcoming every obstacle, guides the ship right up to the two columns and comes to rest between them; he makes it fast with a light chain that hangs from the bow to an anchor of the column on which stands the Host; and with another light chain which hangs from the stern, he fastens it at the opposite end to another anchor hanging from the column on which stands the Immaculate Virgin.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/pope-benedict-and-the-two-columns\/\">https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/pope-benedict-and-the-two-columns\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pape-boat.jpg\" width=\"261\" height=\"282\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"2\" \/>Shortly before he died, John Paul II declared the <em>Year of the Rosary<\/em> (2002-03). This was followed by the <em>Year of the Eucharist<\/em> (2004-05) with his documents on the Eucharist and the Liturgy. Indeed, John Paul II&#8217;s &#8220;last will and testament&#8221; to the Church was to steer the Church firmly between the the Two Pillars. Pope Benedict did not miss a beat, saying shortly after he was elected, that he would mostly continue the legacy of John Paul II. He stunned many of us as he rode into Sydney&#8217;s harbour for World Youth Day, standing at the bow of a ship, coincidentally dressed like the popular painting of Bosco&#8217;s dream!<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">He seems to have further fulfilled Bosco&#8217;s dream as his short papacy endured some of the most vociferous attacks upon a pontiff in <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Popeship.jpg\" width=\"271\" height=\"209\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"2\" \/>memory:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>A storm breaks out over the sea with high winds and waves.

At one point, Bosco even sees one of the Pope&#8217;s killed. But yet, another rises in his place.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>At one point the Pope is seriously wounded, but gets up again. Then he is wounded a second time and dies. But no sooner has he died, than another Pope takes his place. And the ship continues on until it is finally moored to the two pillars. With that, the enemy ships are thrown into confusion, colliding with another and sinking as they attempt to disperse.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>&#8230;<em>And a great calm comes over the sea.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The Church will suffer.
