In a visionary scene set in Australia, depicted not as a single continent but as countless diverse islands, an unnamed Angel guides the people southward. Children from these islands, separated by distance and water, reach out to Don Bosco and the Salesians, pleading for help and urging them to continue the mission begun by their predecessors. Despite many obstacles, some reach the Salesians and joyfully proclaim, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” This vision is interpreted as a sign that Divine Providence has reserved a future missionary field in Australia for the Salesians—one that will flourish if they remain faithful to their calling.
