St
Aloysius Gonzaga (1568 - 1591) |
St
Aloysius was the eldest son of a Mantuan nobleman, and was intended by his
father to be a soldier. Aloysius, on the other hand, had determined to be a
missionary,
and
even to die for his faith.
He
renounced his birthright in favour of his brother and at the age of 16 became
a Jesuit novice in Rome, living the same life of severe austerity and penance
that he had followed even when serving in the courts of dukes and princes.
In
1591 an epidemic of plague broke out in Rome, and the Jesuits opened a
hospital to care for the sick. Aloysius, still a novice, worked hard in the
hospital until he himself caught the plague.
He
did not recover; but, his determination to die for the faith having been
fulfilled, died at midnight on the 20th of June with the name of Jesus on his
lips.
