Saint Luigi Gonzaga, Saint of the day for June 21st
(Maraki 9, 1568 - Iune 21, 1591)
ʻO ka moʻolelo ʻo San Luigi Gonzaga
Hiki i ka Haku ke hoʻolilo i nā haipule i nā wahi āpau, a i waena hoʻi o ka hana hoʻomāinoino a me ka laikini o ke ola ʻo Renaissance. ʻO Florence ka "makuahine o ke aloha" iā Aloysius Gonzaga ʻoiai ʻo ia i hōʻike ʻia i kahi "kaiāulu o ka hoʻopunipuni, ka pahi, ka lāʻau make a me ke kuko". ʻO ke keiki a ka ʻohana aliʻi, ua ulu ʻo ia i loko o nā hale aliʻi a me nā kahua kaua. Makemake kona makuakāne iā Aloysius e lilo i koa koa.
I ka makahiki 7 i loaʻa iā Luigi kahi holomua ʻuhane hohonu. Ua komo pū kāna mau pule me ke keʻena ʻo Mary, nā hīmeni, a me nā haipule ʻē aʻe. I ka makahiki 9 i hele mai ʻo ia mai kona kauhale o Castiglione i Florence e aʻo ʻia ai; i ka makahiki 11 ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka catechism i nā keiki ʻilihuna, hoʻokē ʻai ʻekolu mau lā i ka pule a hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui i nā austerities. I ka makahiki 13, ua huakaʻi ʻo ia me kona mau mākua a me ka Emepela wahine o ʻAukekulia i Sepania, a ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he ʻaoʻao ma ke aloaliʻi o Pilipo II. ʻO ka nui o ko Luigi ʻike ʻana i ka nohona o ka hale hoʻokolokolo, ʻo ia ka nui o ka luhi o kona manaʻo, e ʻimi ana i ke kōkua i ke aʻo ʻana e pili ana i nā ola o nā haipule.
Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi puke e pili ana i ka ʻike o nā mikionali Jesuit ma India e pili ana i ke komo ʻana i ka Society of Jesus, a ma Sepania ua lilo ia i hoʻoholo hope loa. I kēia manawa ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ka heihei ʻehā makahiki me kona makuakāne. Ua hoʻokau ʻia nā kāhuna pule a me nā laymen ma ka lawelawe e hoʻohuli iā Aloysius e noho mau i kāna hana "maʻamau". Ma hope ua lanakila ʻo ia, ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e haʻalele i kāna kuleana kūleʻa a ʻae ʻia i ka novitiate Jesuit.
E like me nā seminarians ʻē aʻe, ua alo ʻo Luigi i kahi ʻano penance hou, ka ʻae ʻana i nā manaʻo like ʻole e pili ana i ke ʻano maoli o ka penitenia. Ua koi ʻia ʻo ia e ʻai hou a leʻaleʻa me nā haumāna ʻē aʻe. Pāpā ʻia ʻo ia e pule ke ʻole nā wā paʻa. Ua noho ʻo ia i ʻehā mau makahiki i ke aʻo ʻana i ka akeakamai a ua lilo ʻo Saint Robert Bellarmine ma ke ʻano he kākāʻōlelo ʻuhane.
I ka makahiki 1591, ua pā ka maʻi ahulau iā Roma. Ua wehe ka Jesuits i ko lākou haukapila ponoʻī. ʻO ka luna nui ʻo ia iho a me nā Jesuit ʻē aʻe he nui i hāʻawi i ka lawelawe pilikino. ʻOiai ua hānai ʻo ia i nā mea maʻi, holoi iā lākou a hoʻonohonoho i ko lākou wahi moe, ua loaʻa ʻo Aloysius i ka maʻi. Ma hope o kona ola ʻana, hoʻomau ka wela a nāwaliwali ʻo ia a hiki ʻole ke hele i waho o kahi moe. Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻomau ʻo ia i kāna aʻo pule nui, me ka ʻike e make ʻo ia i ka octave o Corpus Domini, ʻekolu mau mahina ma hope, i ka makahiki 23.

Ma ke ʻano he laʻa i hoʻokē ʻai, hahau iā ia iho, ʻimi i kahi mehameha a pule, a nānā ʻole i nā maka o ka wahine, me he mea lā ʻaʻole ʻo Luigi ka mea kōkua o ka ʻōpio i kahi kaiāulu kahi i kaupalena ʻia ai ka asceticism i nā kahua hoʻomoana o nā kime peku a me nā mea hoʻokūkū a me ka ʻae. ʻAʻohe o ka ʻae i ka moekolohe. Hiki i kahi kaiāulu kaumaha a me ka lewa ke hoʻonele iā ia iho i kekahi mea? E hana ʻo ia i kēia ke loaʻa iā ia kahi kumu, e like me kā Aloysius i hana ai. ʻO ke kumu o ka ʻae ʻana i ke Akua e hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā mākou ka ʻike o ke aloha a ke Akua iā mākou i ka pule.
