En la tarde de la v\u00edspera de Pentecost\u00e9s, muchos j\u00f3venes hab\u00edan ido a la sacrist\u00eda con la intenci\u00f3n de confesarse con Don Bosco. Una se\u00f1ora de bastante edad bajaba llevando de la mano a una ni\u00f1ita de diez o doce a\u00f1os, con los ojos vendados. Se llamaba Mar\u00eda Stardero, y ven\u00eda de Vinovo con la intenci\u00f3n de pedir una bendici\u00f3n a Don Bosco.<\/p>\n
Don Bosco lleg\u00f3 a la sacrist\u00eda y aquella se\u00f1ora, que result\u00f3 ser la t\u00eda de la ciega, se la present\u00f3 para que la bendijera.<\/p>\n
– \u00bfDesde cu\u00e1nto tiempo tienes enfermos los ojos? -pregunt\u00f3 Don Bosco a la ni\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
– Que sufro, hace mucho; pero que no veo, ser\u00e1n dos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
– \u00bfHas consultado a los m\u00e9dicos? \u00bfQu\u00e9 dijeron? \u00bfY te has puesto los remedios que te recetaron?<\/p>\n
– \u00bfRemedios? Imag\u00ednese -dijo la t\u00eda- si hemos empleado remedios, pero sin resultado. Los m\u00e9dicos no dan ninguna esperanza de curaci\u00f3n… -y la pobre anciana lloraba.<\/p>\n
– \u00bfDistingues, por lo menos, los objetos mayores de los menores? -le pregunt\u00f3 Don Bosco a la ni\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
– No distingo nada, nada.<\/p>\n
– Qu\u00edtele la venda -dijo Don Bosco a la se\u00f1ora-, y traiga a su sobrina cerca de la ventana. \u00bfVes la luz de esta ventana?<\/p>\n
– No veo nada, Padre.<\/p>\n
– \u00bfQuieres ver?<\/p>\n
– S\u00ed; lo deseo m\u00e1s que a ninguna otra cosa de este mundo…<\/p>\n
– \u00bfTe servir\u00e1s de los ojos para bien de tu alma?<\/p>\n
– \u00a1Lo prometo de coraz\u00f3n!<\/p>\n
Don Bosco les pregunt\u00f3 si ten\u00edan fe en Mar\u00eda Auxiliadora, y como la respuesta fuera afirmativa, les hizo rezar un Avemar\u00eda y la Salve, y les dio la bendici\u00f3n. Luego, sacando una medalla, le pregunt\u00f3 a la ni\u00f1a:<\/p>\n
– \u00bfQu\u00e9 tengo en la mano?<\/p>\n
– \u00a1Es ciega, no ve nada! -interrumpi\u00f3 la t\u00eda.<\/p>\n
Don Bosco volvi\u00f3 a preguntar a la ni\u00f1a:<\/p>\n
– F\u00edjate bien; \u00bfqu\u00e9 tengo en la mano?<\/p>\n
La ni\u00f1a hizo un esfuerzo, y abriendo bien los ojos y fij\u00e1ndolos en la mano de Don Bosco, y alzando los brazos, grit\u00f3:<\/p>\n
– \u00a1Veo, veo!<\/p>\n
– \u00bfQu\u00e9 cosa?<\/p>\n
– \u00a1Una medalla! \u00a1La medalla de Mar\u00eda Auxiliadora!<\/p>\n
– \u00bfY qu\u00e9 hay del otro lado de la medalla?<\/p>\n
– \u00a1San Jos\u00e9 con una vara florecida en la mano!<\/p>\n
– \u00a1Oh, Virgen santa! -exclam\u00f3 la t\u00eda- \u00bfVes, entonces?<\/p>\n
– \u00a1Pero s\u00ed que veo! \u00a1La Virgen me hizo la gracia! Y mientras dec\u00eda esto, quiso tomar la medalla para besarla; pero se le cay\u00f3 al suelo. La t\u00eda quiso levantarla; pero Don Bosco le dijo:<\/p>\n
– Deje; veamos si la Virgen la cur\u00f3 completamente…<\/p>\n
Y la ni\u00f1a levant\u00f3 la medalla, y dando gracias a Mar\u00eda Auxiliadora y a Don Bosco, sali\u00f3 corriendo hacia Vinovo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
