| of her conversion pierced his soul, and he
embraced q life of poverty. He took pains

received honor. In the palace where he

| he became the lowest kitchen servant for
| period corresponding to his term of Office
begging his food meanwhile in the streets
Touched by his humility and fervent char
ity, many sinners were converted, and
many left the world and joined him. 1t
was q time of strife, pillage aud bloodshed,
but Giovanni and his little baud of follow
ers went about the towns and villages of
Tuscany preaching Christ crucified, recon =,
CLING enemies, winning hearts TO God, and
kindling in them the fire of Divine love.
Pope Urban V. on his return from Avig
non constituted these poor little ones of
Jesus into religious Order, now extinct,
called the "Gesuati;" not, however, before
they had been accused Of hereey, formally
examined and acquitted, their Divine
Master prompting their answers. Soon
after, Giovanni fell sick, and on the 2lst
of July, A. 1867, he passed to eternal
peace.
B. Giovanni was by nature weak and
chilly, ami used to live delicately and dress
warmly but after his conversion he went
barefoot and bareheaded, his chest exposed.
A friend, therefore, said to him, cart thou
not cold, Giovanni 7" Bat the Saint took
his frieBd's hand, and placed it in his

| and the defence of the Faith. For this end
he established his thIeefold religious Order.
TIE convent for nuns was founded frat, to
rescue young girls from heresy aud crime.
Then a company of apostolic men gathered
around him, and became the Order of Friar
Preachers. Lastly came the tertisries,
persons of both sexes, living in the world.
God blessed the new Order, aud France,
Italy, Spain and England welcomed the
Preaching Friars. Oar Lady took them
under her special protection, whispered to
to him the devotion of the Rosary, his
most powerful weapon with souls. His
nights were spent in prayer; and though
pure as a virgin, thrice before morning
broke he scourged himself to blood. His
words rescued countless souls, aud three
times raised the death to life. At length,
on August 9Th, 1921, at the age of fifty. one,
he gave up his soul to God.
1t was in 1908, while St. Dominic knelt
in the little chapel of Notre Dame dc la
Prouille, and implored the great Mother
of God to save the Church, that our Lady
appeared to him. gave him the Rosary,
aad bade him go forth and preach. Beads
in hand, he revived the courage Of the
Catholic troop, lead them TO victory
against overw helmipg Dum bers, and finally
crushed the beresy. Twice since the Saint
went to heaven has the Church's cause
been saved through the rosary he taught;
once by the victory of Lepanto, in 1871, in
day was established by st. Plus "; and
again in l7l7, when the Turks were de-
feated at Belgrade, and Clement XII. hung
the standards of the infdels as trophies of
Mary's power in the Church of the Rosary
at Rome.

ST. ALPHoNsUs LIGUoRI

st. Alphonsus was born of noble parents
near Naples in 1896. His spiritual training
was entrusted to the Fathers of the Oratory
in that city, and from his boyhood Alphon-
sus was known as q most devout Brother
of the Little Oratory. At the early age of
sixteen he was made doctor in law, and he
threw himself into this career with ardor
and success. A mistake, by which he lost
an important cause, showed him the vanity
of human fame, and determined him to
labor only for the glory of God. He enter
ed the priesthood, devoting himself to the
most neglected souls; and to carry on this
work be founded later the missionary Con
gregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. At
the age of sixty-six he became bishop of
st. Agatha, aud undertook the referm of
his diocese with the zeal of a Saint. He
made a vow never to lose time; and
though his life was spent in prayer and
work, he composed a vast number of books,
filled with such science, JUNCTION and wis
dom, that he has been declared one of the
Doctors of the Church. This title has only
been given to eighteen in as many centu-
ries. He lived in evil times, and met with
many prosecutions and disappointments.
For his last seven years he was prevented
by constant sickness from offering the
adorable Sacrifice but he received Holy
Communion daily, and his love for Jesus
Christ and his trust in Mary's prayer sus-
tained him to the end. He died in 17S7,
in his ninety-irst year.
st. Alpbonsus wrote his first book at the
age of forty mine, and in his eighty third
year had published about sixty volumes,
when his director forbade him to write
more. Very many of these books were
written in the half-hours snatched from
his labors as missionary, religious, superior
and bishop, or in the midst of continual
bodily and mental sufferings. With his
left hand he would hold piece of marble
againet his aching head while his right
hand wrote. Yet he counted no time
wasted which was spent in charity. He
did not refuse to hold a long cOrrespon
dence with simple soldier who asked his
advice, or TO play the -harpsichord while
he taught his novices to sing spiritual can
ticles.

ST. 1GNArIUs OF LoYoLA.

ST. lGNATlUS OF LO1OLA.
st. Ignstius was born at LoyoIa in Spain
in the year 1491. He served his king as
o courtier and q soldier till his thirtieth
year. At that age, being laid low by a
wound, he received the cali of divine grace
to leave the world and follow Jesus Christ.
He gave himself up entirely to the love of
Jesus Christ. Whatever he knew to be
pleasing to our Saviour that be did. He
sacrificed everything which could separate
poverty and humiliation that he might
become more like to Jesus Christ. He
loved our Lord 30 ardently, that he won
others to join him in serving Him.
Prompted by their love for Jesus Christ,
he and his companions made q VOW to go
where their Divine Master had lived, to
labor for souls where He had labored !;
they were prepared to die where He had
died. But war broke out and prevented
the execution of their project. Then they
turned to the Vicar of Jesus Christ, and
placed themselves under his obedience.
This was the beginning of the Society of
Jesus: it's motto was "Ad n.aforem Del
gtoTiGm,-TO the greater glory of God"
Our Lord promised st. Ignatius that the
precious heritage of His Passion should
never fail his Society, heritage of contra
dictions and prosecutions.
st: lgnatius went to his crown on the
3lst July, 1856.
st. lgnatius was cast into prison at Sal.
amanca on suspicion of heresy. To q
friend who expressed sympathy with him
on account of his imprisonment he replied,
"1t is sign that you have but little love
of Christ in your beart, or you would not
deem it so hard fate TO be in chains for
His sake. 1 declare to you that all Sals-
manca does not contain as many fetters,
manacles and chains as long to wear for
the love of Jesus Christ.

ST. MARY MAGDALEN OF PAzzI

st. Mary Magdalen of Pazsi, of an illus.
trious house in Florence, was born in the
year 1866, and baptized by the name OF
Catharine. She received her first Commu
MON at ten years of age, and made vow
of virginity at twelve. She took great
pleasure in carefully teaching the Christian
doctrine to the ignorant. Her father, not
knowing her VOW, wished to give her in
marriage, but she persuaded him to allow
her to become a religious. It was more
difficult to obtain her mothers consent;
but at last she gained it, and she was pro-
fessed, being then eighteen years of age,
in the Carmelite monastery of Santa Maria
degli Angei in Florence, May 17th, 1884.
She changed her name Catharine into that
of Mary Magdalen on becoming q nun, and
took as her motto, "To suffer or die" and
her life henceforth was q life of penance
for sins not her own, and of love for our
Lord, who tried her in ways fearful and
strange. She was obedient, observant of
the rule, humble and mortified, and had a
great reverence for the religious life. She
loved poverty and suffering, and hungered
after Communion. God raised her to high
states of prayer, and gave her rare gifts,
enabling her to read the thoughts of her
novices, and filing her with wisdom to
direct them Alright. She was twice chosen
mistress of novices, and then made superi
Dress, when God took her to Himself, May
25th, 1907. Her body is incorrupt.
Charity is the presence of God Himself
in the soul, Transforming it into new
creature. st. Mary Magdaen of Pazzi
called the day of Communion the day of
love. The charity that burned in her
heart led her in her youth to choose the
house of the Carm elites, because the relig
ious therein communicated every day.
She rejoiced to zee others comm unicate,
even when she was not allowed to do go
herself; and her love for her sisters grew
when she saw them receive our Lord.
