Saint of the Day
St Aloysius Gonzaga
(9th March 1958 -21st June 1591)
Feast day 21st June
 
Aloysius Gonzaga was born into a family of
immense wealth and prestige.
As the first-born son of his father, Ferrante, and his mother, Marta, he was in line to inherit his father’s title of Marquis.
His parents did everything in their power to prepare their son for an illustrious future.
 
Aloysius wanted more than just a comfortable lifestyle and a fat
allowance. While still in Spanish court in Madrid, he informed his
 parents that he wanted to join the newly founded religious order called the Society of Jesus.
 
Aloysius began his studies as a young Jesuit in Rome, devoting his time to prayer and practices of austerity.
But Rome was in the midst of a serious plague epidemic that left the poor and indigent dying in the streets.
The young Jesuit regularly went through the city, doing
whatever he could for the victims, including carrying them to hospitals where he would care for them, washing their wounds and feeding them. Not surprisingly, he contracted the disease himself.
 
On June 21, 1591, at the age of 23, still six years away from his
priestly ordination, he died.
 
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, despite his youth, has taught us to search out God in those who need our help and care.
He has taught us to look beyond the external and into the heart and spirit of our fellow humans, where we will find God’s love is alive in everyone.
 
Quotes attributed to St Aloysius
“It is better to be a child of God than king of the whole world.” 
“He who trusts in himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.” 
“What does it cost us to say, ‘My God help me!'” 

Little Church
Will hopefully be starting back in the next few weeks
