For Christ's love
compels us... II Cor
5:14a
"It is said of St
Aloysius Gonzaga that he used to receive Communion once a week and that he was
accustomed to spend three days in
preparation before it
and three days in
thanksgiving after it. ... By this means, the
angelic youth was enabled to walk continually with God; one Communion was the preparation
for another; thus, he constantly advanced in
purity of heart and in love for Jesus Christ."

FEAST DAY
- June 21
"I confess that
I am bewildered and lose myself at the thought of Divine Goodness, a sea without
shore and fathomless, of God who calls me to an eternal rest after such short
and tiny labors - summons and calls me to heaven, to that supreme Good..." ~ St
Aloysius
St. Aloysius spent a lot of time in
prayer especially before the
Blessed Sacrament. So much so that when it came time to make a
painting of him it was decided to make it of him kneeling in adoration
before of our Lord Jesus since this reflected best of who he was.
