Patron Saint St. Stanislaus Kostka"May we be led to the glory of heaven by the prayers of the Virgin Mary." Stanislaus was born in 1550 of a noble Polish family. At fourteen he studied at the college of the Jesuits in Vienna with his brother Paul. Though Stanislaus was always bright and kind, he was treated badly by his brother for two years. He always forgave his brother. Stanislaus became very ill. He prayed to St. Barbara to help him. Then he had a vision in which two angels brought Communion to him. The Blessed Virgin Mary cured him and asked him to become a priest in the Society of Jesus. Stanislaus had to leave Vienna because his father did not want him to become a priest. At Rome Stanislaus lived for ten months as a novice. A priest said to him: ''Stanislaus, you love Our Lady very much.'' ''Yes”, he replied. “She is my Mother!'' And then he said: ''The Mother of God is my Mother.'' Stanislaus died on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1568, at the age of seventeen. His example teaches young people to love Jesus and Mary. From the First Book of Saints, published by Catholic Book Publishing co. New York
