LIVING OUR FAITH

Virtue of the Month: Perseverance

Saint of the Month: St. Aloysius Gonzaga

St. Aloysius is the patron saint of Catholic youth. The memory of his life carries the sweet fragrance of purity united with the perseverance of a heroic life of penance. During an epidemic in Rome in 1591, he distinguished himself by his charity toward the sick in the hospital. These visits brought on him the illness that ended in his death. His last days were the faithful echo of his brief life of 24 years of age.

Lord, author of all heavenly gifts, you gave St. Aloysius both a wonderful innocence and a deep spirit of perseverance in serving others. Through his merits grant that we may imitate his life of devotion to you. Amen.

FAITH IN OUR COMMUNITY
