{"title":"📚 St. Stanislaus Kostka","description":"\u003cp\u003eSt. Stanislaus Kostka was a Polish Jesuit novice who became a model of youthful holiness and devotion to religious life. Born into a noble family in Poland in 1550, he received his education in Vienna, where he developed a strong desire to enter the Society of Jesus. When his family opposed his vocation, Stanislaus traveled on foot to Rome to seek admission to the Jesuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was received into the novitiate by St. Francis Borgia and quickly became known for his humility, prayerfulness, and devotion to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary. His life was cut short by illness at the age of seventeen, but his example inspired many young people to pursue holiness. He was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLived:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 1550 – August 15, 1568 | \u003cstrong\u003eFeast Day:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 13 | \u003cstrong\u003eCanonized:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 31, 1726, by Pope Benedict XIII\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatronage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Youth, students, novices, and those discerning a religious vocation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"book-of-saints-part-2-by-fr-lawrence-g-lovasik","title":"Book of Saints Part 2 - by Fr.
