Summary/Abstract: The author analyzed all euchological texts of the liturgical memorial of St. John Bosco, both from the Roman Missal for Polish Dioceses and the Messale Proprio della Famiglia Salesiana. This analysis turned out to be a valuable procedure aimed at showing the essential elements of the spirituality of St. John Bosco, founder of the Society of St. Francis de Sales. In addition, the article presents a wealth of mass texts that fulfill many functions, primarily formative and didactic ones, which, when used well, can enlarge the bunch of people elevated to the group of blessed and canonized people in the Catholic Church.
