Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Aloysius Gonzaga (1568- 1591) was a prince of the Holy Roman Empire who renounced his titles and wealth to serve God and the Church as a member of the Society of Jesus. While he lived a short life and is honored as the patron saint of youth, Saint Aloysius invites all Christians to reflect on how they are living their unique vocations to be witnesses to Christ. Using the saint's own letters and spiritual reflections, and other historical documents, this book offers unparalleled insights into his life and personality. Woven together with his biography are also portraits of other Jesuits and Reformation saints. The author explains the history of the Society of Jesus and shows how Aloysius Gonzaga played an important part in developing the Jesuit's educational apostolate. For those interested in Jesuit history, the Reformation, or simply this appealing saint, this book offers a unique perspective on an important period of Church history and what it means to pursue God's will without counting the cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year Winner of the Christopher Award Winner of the Catholic Press Association Book Award WITTY, WRYLY HONEST, AND ALWAYS ORIGINAL, My Life with the Saints is James Martin’s story of how his life has been shaped by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. In his modern classic memoir, Martin introduces us to saints throughout history—from St. Peter to Dorothy Day, St. Francis of Assisi to Mother Teresa—and chronicles his lifelong friendships with them. Filled with fascinating tales, Martin’s funny, vibrant, and stirring book invites readers to discover how saints guide us throughout our earthly journeys and how they help each of us find holiness in our own lives. Featuring a new chapter from Martin, this tenth-anniversary edition of the best-selling memoir updates readers about his life over the past ten years. In that time, he has been a New York Times best-selling author, official chaplain of The Colbert Report, and a welcome presence in the media whenever there’s a breaking Catholic news story. But he has always remained recognizably himself. John L. Allen, Jr., the acclaimed Catholic journalist, contributes a foreword that shows how Martin has become one of the wisest and most insightful voices of this era. “An outstanding and often hilarious memoir.” —Publishers Weekly“One of the best spiritual memoirs in years.” —Robert Ellsberg“Remarkably engaging.” —U.S. Catholic“Martin’s final word is as Jungian as it is Catholic: God does not want us to be Mother Teresa or Dorothy Day. God wants us to be most fully ourselves.” —The Washington Post Book World

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work begins: "THE life of St. Aloysius is not an eventful one, if the outward vicissitudes of our earthly pilgrimage are to be taken as the measure of eventfulness. It was, moreover, a short life, and what men might call an incomplete life, even as respected the vocation to follow which he had made the sacrifice of all his worldly prospects. For he saw but the opening of his twenty-third summer, and died before attaining to the priesthood. But if we look to the interior life, the true life of all Christians-if we turn our eyes to that stage upon which the great drama of our existence is enacted-then the life of this youth becomes one of surpassing interest; and such is the light in which every devout Catholic has always regarded it. When acts of perfection, acts done for God, and not mere days and years, are considered as the measure of extension, then also does it expand into a long life; and if the entire fulfilment of the Divine purpose of grace towards the soul be taken into account, then, too, does it come before us as a complete life." Of his death we read: "He had always desired to die within the octave of Corpus Christi, or on a Friday, the day of his Saviour's Passion, and he obtained both boons; for he passed from this life just as the octave was closing and Friday beginning, in the' night between the 20th and 21st of June. He had completed twenty-three years, three months, and eleven days. No little grace did these two fathers deem it to have been permitted to assist at this blessed death; so many had desired this privilege, and they were the elected two; moreover, they had received from the lips of the saint a precious promise, that so long as they lived he would continually remember them before God. They seemed on the instant to experience the happy fruits of his intercession; for the Father Minister was filled with indescribable peace and consolation, and Father Guelfucci was penetrated with extraordinary sentiments of contrition and devotion, and an ardent zeal for the service of God. Nor with the latter were these impressions of a merely temporary character; they lasted for several months, and were renewed at times even when their first freshness was gone. Not daring to take anything from the venerated body, he secured for himself the shoe-strings and the pens of his departed brother: these were the first relics of the saint, and as such they were piously preserved." Then follows the details of his canonization and the miracles attributed to his intercession. Any life, short of long can be one of great virtue, and indeed should be. Let us learn from Saint Aloysius' life to live a life of virtue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga Alengthened sojourn in Italy has given special facilities to Father Frederick Schroeder to prepare the elaborate edition of Father Cepari's well known biography, which is now introduced to the English speaking public. Withthe thoroughness, which isthe characteristic of German research, he has pushedhis enquiries into entirely original sources; and has obtained access to authorities which had never been opened either to the Bollandists, or to any later writer of the life of S. Aloysius. Little has therefore been left for the editor of the English version, save to superintend the translations, the work in great part of kind friends, to re-write a chapter on the miracles of the Saint, in place of that of Father Cepari, to make a few slight additions to the notes and to add the letters of S. Aloysius, not published by Cepari or Schroeder. The translation, owing to circumstances beyond control, has been done under pressure of time. But every effort has been made to secure accuracy and fidelity, even perhaps at the cost of style. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
