SynopsisExcerpt from Life of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, of the Society of Jesus: Tercentenary Life To St. Aloysius. O Aloysius, to whose loving care Has been intrusted all our youthful life, O, list, dear brother, to our humble prayer, And lend thine aid to help us in the strife. How swift the passing of thine earthly days, Yet in their light, what lessons may we learn! The ways of God, and truth, and light to praise, The ways of darkness and of sin to spurn. What honors now with other saints of God In radiant glory does thy soul possess? In all, brave boy-saint, hast thou glorious stood, High on the summit of great holiness. For who of those with whom thou now dost dwell Hath e'er excelled thy matchless purity? Or who performed the Lord's behest as well As thou, with unassumed humility? Too holy wert thou for the tainted earth Which could not hope to long imprison thee; Too soon, 'twould seem, still pure as at thy birth, Thy soul has entered immortality.

This Tercentenary honors, therefore, the three hun dred years of his heavenly glory, and this volume tells how that glory was merited.
