Aloysius Gonzaga was raised by a worldly father amidst the vices of European nobility. After receiving his First Communion from Saint Charles Borromeo, Aloysius began to pray, do penance, and teach the catechism. Renouncing his inheritance, he entered the Jesuits, though sickness left him chronically weak.

Love Unveiled: The Catholic Faith Explained
$18.95“Man cannot live without love…. His life is senseless if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it.” — John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis
