Happy Feast Day of Saint Aloysius!

May the patronage of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga avail everyone of us, especially the Catholic youth, unto the increase of the theological virtues and the gifts of the Holy Ghost, that we may either preserve our baptismal innocence intact from the contamination of the world, or restore it by means of penance, self-abnegation and mortification; and to persevere and progress in sanctifying grace unto the transit from this terrestrial exile.

Here is a commentary upon the Mass for the Feast of St. Aloysius, taken from the late Cardinal Schuster's The Sacramentary (Liber Sacramentorum): Historical and Liturgical Notes on the Roman Missal (vol. IV, trans. Arthur Levelis-Marke; New York: Benziger Brothers, 1929).

From the tome Kyrie Eleison: Two Hundred Litanies with Historico-Liturgical Introduction and Notes by Rev. Fr. Benjamin Francis Musser, O.F.M. (Westminster, MD: The Newman Bookshop, 1944), here is a Litany in honor of St. Aloysius.
