St. Stanislaus Kostka teaches us by his example how to live out our youth. Tortured by an evil spirit, healed by Mary, he undertook the decision to enter the Jesuit Order. He did this against his parents’ will and paid with great suffering.
“I am made for greater things and for them I should live,” said this young man who became a saint. People from all over the world revere him.
May St. Stanislaus Kostka be the patron of those walking the difficult roads of Christian life. Let us pray asking for support for all of the Polish youth, for all of young Poland.
