Some thoughts on a name

“Saint Dominic  Savio” … not a household name for most, at least those who aren’t familiar with the Salesians and the better known St. John Bosco (Dominic’s famous teacher).  As the youngest non-martyr to be canonized,  Dominic Savio has a plausible connection to high school youth, but there is one better and very obvious point that I missed at first:

“Savio” == “Wise Man” or “Wise” (in Italian)

And don’t we all pray for Wisdom for our children every day.
