Saint Stanislaus Kostka was born in Poland in 1550to a noble Polish family. He was a devout childand at the age of 14, he was sent with his olderbrother, Paul, to study at the Jesuit College in Vienna.
Stanislaus was treated very badly by his jealousbrother. He fell ill from a beating and bone breakingat the hands of Paul. The Lutheran family Stanislauslived with in Vienna would not allow a priest to visithim. So he prayed to Saint Barbara, who appearedto him with two angels to administer Communion.
Stanislaus was then cured by the Blessed Motherwho told him to become a Jesuit.
He was clothed in the Jesuit habit in 1567against his family?s wishes. Stanislaus was a Jesuitfor only 10 months, but by following his resolutionto make each day perfect, he reachedin that short time the heights of holiness.
