Praised Be Jesus Christ!
Today’s Gospel is Matthew 6:19-23. Today is the feast of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Jesus instructs us to store up treasure in Heaven instead of treasure on earth. St. Aloysius is a great example of this, choosing to be a Jesuit, placing others and study before his own treasures and comfort. When a plague broke out in Rome, St. Aloysius served those that were sick and ultimately succumbed to it himself. St. Aloysius wrote a letter to his mother on his deathbed asking her to pray for him so that he would focus not on his own discomfort, but instead on Jesus.
Let us pray, through the intercession of St. Aloysius, for the grace to deny ourselves comfort and follow the Lord.
