Prayer To St Francis
On this day: St. Aloysius Gonzaga
On this day we celebrate the feast of St. Aloysius Gonzaga of the Society of Jesus. He was born on March 9, 1568, and died on June 21, 1591.
Click here to see "St. Aloysius, when about 17 years and a half. From an oil painting by an unknown master of the School of Paul Veronese (Cagliari). The picture is in St. Aloysius' Cappelletta in the Jesuit College, Rome."
The portrait is on the cover of the indispensable Life of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, by Father Virgil Cepari, S. J., translated for the Tercentenary, and edited by Father Francis Goldie, S. J., Benziger Brothers, 1891. The book may be read free at Google Books. Scroll down to page ii to get a better look at the signature of Aluigi Gonzaga. He was about to enter the Noviciate of S. Andrea, Rome.
"During the last three centuries a multitude of biographies of S. Aloysius have appeared; but they are all more or less drawn from the same source, and have lost some of the clearness and purity of the fountain head. This source is the classical life by Father Virgil Cepari of the Society of Jesus. It is impossible to find in any other biographer of S. Aloysius the qualities which we meet with in Cepari.
"He was a contemporary of the Saint, an ocular witness of most of the facts he narrates; he was his fellow-student and lived with him for several years, during which he met him every day and was honoured with his most entire confidence. And what Cepari himself had not seen and heard, he learned from the lips of those who had witnessed all that he narrates, the mother and brother of S. Aloysius, his tutors, servants, his relatives and acquaintances, his masters, superiors in religion, his confessor. Cepari visited every place, except those in Spain, where the Saint had stayed for any length of time, and took down on the spot the most exact information, as can be learnt from the statements of the sworn witnesses. No other writer of the life of S. Aloysius has done the same."
contains details that have been dropped from modern accounts or distorted or diluted. The front matter and back matter are fascinating: letters from Aluigi to his parents and brothers, the elaborate signatures, the testimonies. The chapters on the saint's life and death are gripping, as are the endnotes. See, e.g., pages 344-348 for the list of expenses incurred by Aloysius and his brother during their stay in Florence and Mantua.See page 1 for "Chapter I. His Ancestry and Birth. 1568." Aluigi Gonzaga was baptized by the midwife before he had completely emerged from his mother. His parents' wedding in Spain was the first "celebrated in the country according to the orders and with the solemnities prescribed by the Council of Trent".

HOMILETICS: A Different Prayer of St. Francis
Our Father, each day is a little life, each night a tiny death; help us to live with faith and hope and love. Lift our duty above drudgery; let not our strength fail, or the vision fade, in the heat and burden of the day. O God, make us patient and pitiful one with another in the fret and jar of life, remembering that each fights a hard fight and walks a lonely way. Forgive us, Lord, if we hurt our fellow souls; teach us a gentler tone, a sweeter charity of words, and a more healing touch. Sustain us, O God, when we must face sorrow; give us courage for the day and hope for the morrow. Day unto day may we lay hold of thy hand and look up into thy face, whatever befall, until our work is finished and the day is done. Amen.
