ThegospelsofMatthewandLukein the New Testament describe Mary as Christians believe that sheconceived her son while a virginby theHoly Spirit. Themiraculous birthtook place when she was alreadybetrothedtoJosephand was awaiting the concluding rite of marriage, the formal home-taking ceremony.[6]She married Joseph and accompanied him toBethlehem, whereJesus was born.[7]

The Gospel of Luke begins its account of Mary\'s life with theAnnunciation, when the angelGabrielappeared to her and announced her divine selection to be the mother of Jesus. According tocanonical gospelaccounts, Mary was present atthe crucifixionand is depicted as a member of the early Christian community in Jerusalem. According to the Catholic and Orthodox teaching, at the end of her earthly life her body was assumed to have been taken directly into Heaven; this is known in the West as theAssumption.[8][9]

Mary had beenveneratedsinceEarly Christianity,[10][11]and is considered by millions to be the most meritorioussaintof the religion. She is claimed to havemiraculously appearedto believers many times over the centuries. TheEasternandOriental Orthodox,Roman Catholic,Anglican, andLutheranchurches believe that Mary, as mother of Jesus, is theMother of There is significant diversity in theMarian beliefsand devotional practices of major Christian traditions. The Roman Catholic Church holdsdistinctive Marian dogmas; namely her status as the Mother of God; herImmaculate Conception; herperpetual virginity; and her Assumption into heaven.[12]Many Protestants minimize Mary\'s role within Christianity, based on the argued brevity of biblical references.[13]Mary also has arevered position in Islam, where one of the larger 114 chapters of the Quran is devoted to her.

Mary\'s name in the original manuscripts of the New Testament was based on her English name \"Mary\" comes from theGreekΜαρία, which is a shortened form of Μαριάμ. Both Μαρία and Μαριάμ appear in the New Testament.

In Christianity, Mary is commonly referred to as theVirginMary, in accordance with the belief that she conceived Jesusmiraculouslythrough theHoly Spiritwithouther husband\'s involvement. Among her many other names and titles are theBlessed Virgin Mary(often abbreviated to \"BVM\"),SaintMary (occasionally), theMother of God(primarily inWestern Christianity), theTheotokos(primarily inEastern Christianity), Our Lady (MedievalItalian:Madonna), andQueen of Heaven(Latin:Regina Coeli),[15][16]although the title\"Queen of Heaven\"was also a name for a pagan goddess being worshipped during the prophet Jeremiah\'s lifetime (Jeremiah44:17-19.) Titles in use vary andother Christians.

The three main titles for Mary used by the Orthodox or loosely \"Mother of as confirmed in theSecond Council of Constantinoplein 553, use a wide variety of titles for Mary, and these titles have in turn given rise to many artistic depictions. For example, the titleOur Lady of Sorrowshas inspired such masterpieces asMichelangelo\'sPietà.[18]

The titleTheotokoswas recognized at theCouncil of Ephesusin 431. The direct equivalents of title in Latin areDeiparaandDei Genetrix, although the phrase is more often loosely translated into Latin asMater Dei(Mother of God), with similar patterns for other languages used in theLatin Church. However, this same phrase in Greek (Μήτηρ Θεοῦ), in the abbreviated formΜΡ ΘΥ, is an indication commonly attached to her image inByzantineicons. The Council stated that theChurch Fathers\"did not hesitate to speak of the holy Virgin as the Mother of God\".[19][20][21]

Some Marian titles have a directscripturalbasis. For instance, the title \"Queen Mother\" has been given to Mary since she was the mother of Jesus, who was sometimes referred to as the \"King of Kings\" due to his ancestral descent fromKing David. The scriptural basis for the term \"Queen\" can be seen inLuke1:32 and theIsaiah9:6. \"Queen Mother\" can be found in1 Kings 2:19-20andJeremiah 13:18-19.[22]Other titles have arisen fromreported miracles, special appeals or occasions for calling on Mary. To give a few examples,Our Lady of Good Counsel,Our Lady of NavigatorsandOur Lady Undoer of Knotsfit this description.[23][24][25][26]

InIslam, she is known mother ofIsa(Arabic:عيسى بن مريم‎,translit.ʿĪsā ibn Maryām,lit.\'Jesus, son of Mary\'‎). She is often referred to by the honorific titlesayyidatuna, meaning \"our lady\"; this title is in parallel tosayyiduna(\"our lord\"), used for the prophets.[27]A related term of endearment isSiddiqah,[28]meaning \"she who confirms the truth\". Another title for Mary isQānitah,.[29]

SaintAloysius Gonzaga,S.J.(Italian:Luigi Gonzaga;[1]March 9, 1568– June 21, 1591) was anItalianaristocratwho became a member of theSociety of Jesus. While still a student at theRoman College, he died as a result of caring for the victims of an epidemic. He wasbeatifiedin 1605, andcanonizedin 1726.

Gonzaga was born the eldest of seven children,[2]at his family\'s castle inCastiglione delle Stiviere, betweenBresciaandMantuain northernItalyin what was then part of theDuchy of Mantua, into the illustriousHouse of Gonzaga. \"Aloysius\" is the Latin form of Gonzaga\'s given name in Italian, Luigi.[3]He was the oldest son of Ferrante Gonzaga (1544–1586),Marquisof Castiglione, and Marta Tana diSantena, daughter of a baron of thePiedmonteseDella Roverefamily. His mother was alady-in-waitingtoIsabel, the wife ofPhilip II of Spain.[4]

As the first-born son, he was in line to inherit his father\'s title of Marquis.[3]His father assumed that Aloysius would become a soldier, as the family was constantly involved in the frequent minor wars in the region. His military training started at an early age, but he also received an education in languages and the arts. As early as age four, Luigi was given a set of miniature guns and accompanied his father on training expeditions so that the boy might learn “the art of arms.”[4]At the age of five, Aloysius was sent to a military camp to get started on his career. His father was pleased to see his son marching around camp at the head of a platoon of soldiers. His mother and his tutor were less pleased with the vocabulary he picked up there.[5]

He grew up amid the violence and brutality ofRenaissanceItaly and witnessed the murder of two of his brothers.[3]In 1576, at the age of 8, he was sent toFlorence, along with his younger brother, Rodolfo, to serve at the court of the Grand DukeFrancesco I de\' Mediciand to receive further education.[6]While there, he fell ill with a disease of the kidneys, which was to trouble him throughout his life. While he was ill, he took the opportunity to read about the saints and to spend much of his time in prayer. He is said to have taken a private vow ofchastityat the age of 9. In November 1579, the brothers were sent to theDuke of Mantua. Aloysius was shocked by the violent and frivolous lifestyle he encountered there.

Aloysius returned to Castiglione where he metCardinalCharles Borromeo, and from him received First Communion on 22 July, 1580.[6]After reading a book aboutJesuitmissionaries inIndia, Aloysius felt strongly that he wanted to become a missionary himself.[7]He started practicing by teachingcatechismclasses to young boys in Castiglione in the summers. He also repeatedly visited the houses of theCapuchinfriarsand theBarnabiteslocated inCasale Monferrato, the capital of the Gonzaga-ruledDuchy of Montferratwhere the family spent the winter. He also adopted anasceticlifestyle.

The family was called to Spain in 1581 to assist theHoly Roman EmpressMaria of Austria. They arrived inMadridin March 1582, where Aloysius and Rodolfo became pages for the youngInfanteDiego(1575–82).[6]At that point, Aloysius started thinking in earnest about joining areligious order. He had considered joining theCapuchins, but he had aJesuitconfessor in Madrid and decided instead to join that order. His mother agreed to his request, but his father was furious and prevented him from doing so.

In July 1584, a year and a half after the Infante\'s death, the family returned to Italy. Aloysius still wanted to become apriestbut several members of his family worked hard to persuade him to change his mind. When they realized there was no way to make him give up his plan, they tried to persuade him to become asecular priest, and offered to arrange for abishopricfor him. If he were to become a Jesuit he would renounce any right to his inheritance or status in society.[8]His family was afraid of this, but their attempts to persuade him not to join the Jesuits failed; Aloysius was not interested in higher office and still wanted to become a missionary.

In November 1585, Aloysius gave up all rights of inheritance, which was confirmed by theemperor. He went toRomeand, because of his noble birth, gained an audience withPope Sixtus V. Following a brief stay at thePalazzo Aragona Gonzaga, the Roman home of his cousin, CardinalScipione Gonzaga, on 25 November 1585 he was accepted into thenovitiateof the Society of Jesus in Rome. During this period, he was asked to moderate his asceticism somewhat, and to be more social with the other novices.[7]

Aloysius\' health continued to cause problems. In addition to the kidney disease, he also suffered from a skin disease, chronic headaches andinsomnia. He was sent toMilanfor studies, but after some time he was sent back to Rome because of his health. On November 25, 1587, he took the three religiousvowsofchastity, poverty and obedience. In February and March 1588, he receivedminor ordersand started studyingtheologyto prepare forordination. In 1589, he was called toMantuato mediate between his brother, Rodolfo, and the Duke of Mantua. He returned to Rome in May 1590. It is said that later that year, he had a vision in which theArchangel Gabrieltold him that he would die within a year.

In 1591, aplaguebroke out in Rome. The Jesuits opened a hospital for the stricken, and Aloysius volunteered to work there.[7]After begging alms for the victims, Aloysius began working with the sick, carrying the dying from the streets into a hospital founded by the Jesuits. There he washed and fed the plague victims, preparing them as best he could to receive the sacraments. But though he threw himself into his tasks, he privately confessed to his spiritual director, Fr. Robert Bellarmine, that his constitution was revolted by the sights and smells of the work; he had to work hard to overcome his physical repulsion.

At the time, many of the younger Jesuits had become infected with the disease, and so Aloysius’s superiors forbade him from returning to the hospital. But Aloysius—long accustomed to refusals from his father—persisted and requested permission to return, which was granted. Eventually he was allowed to care for the sick, but only at another hospital, called Our Lady of Consolation, where those with contagious diseases were not admitted. While there, Aloysius lifted a man out of his sickbed, tended to him, and brought him back to his bed. But the man was infected with the plague: Aloysius grew ill and was bedridden by March 3, 1591, a few days before his 23rd birthday.

Aloysius rallied for a time, but as fever and a cough set in, he declined for many weeks. He had an intimation in prayer that he might die on the Feast of Corpus Christi, and when that day arrived he appeared to his friends better than on the previous day. Two priests came in the evening to bring him communion. As Fr. Tylenda tells the story, “When the two Jesuits came to his side, they noticed a change in his face and realized that their young Aloysius was dying. His eyes were fixed on the crucifix he held in his hands, and as he tried to pronounce the name of Jesus he died.” Like Joan of Arc and the Ugandan martyrs, Aloysius Gonzaga died with the name of Jesus on his lips.He was allowed to work in a ward where there were no plague victims, as they were afraid to lose him. As it turned out, a man on his ward was already infected, and on March 3, 1591 (six days before his 23rd birthday), Aloysius showed the first symptoms of being infected. It seemed certain that he would die in a short time, and he was givenExtreme Unction. To everyone\'s surprise, however, he recovered, but his health was left worse than ever.[9]

While he was ill, he spoke several times with his confessor, the cardinal and later saint,Robert Bellarmine. Aloysius had another vision, and told several people that he would die on theOctaveof the feast ofCorpus Christi.[10]On that very day, which fell on June 21 that year, he seemed very well in the morning, but insisted that he would die before the day was over. As he began to grow weak, Bellarmine gave him thelast rites, and recited the prayers for the dying. He died just before midnight.

Purity was his notable virtue.[11]TheCarmelitemysticSt MariaMagdalena de Pazziclaimed to have had a vision of him on April 4, 1600. She described him as radiant in glory because of his \"interior works\", \"a hidden martyr\" for his great love of God.[12]

Aloysius was buried in the Church of the Most Holy Annunciation, which later became the church ofSaint Ignatius of Loyola(Sant\'Ignazio) inRome.[2]His name was changed to \"Robert\" before his death, in honor of his confessor. Many people considered him to be a saint soon after his death, and his remains were moved into the Sant\'Ignazio church, where they now rest in an urn oflapis lazuliin the Lancelotti Chapel. His head was later translated to the basilica bearing his name inCastiglione delle Stiviere. He was beatified only fourteen years after his death byPope Paul V, on October 19, 1605. On December 31, 1726, he was canonized together with anotherJesuitnovice,Stanislaus Kostka, byPope Benedict XIII.

Saint Aloysius\'feast dayis celebrated on June 21, the date of his death.

In 1729Pope Benedict XIIIdeclared Aloysius to be thepatron saintof young students. In 1926 he was named patron of all Christian youth byPope Pius XI. Owing to the manner of his death, he has always been considered a patron saint ofplaguevictims. For his compassion and courage in the face of an incurable disease, Aloysius Gonzaga has become the patron both ofAIDSsufferers and their caregivers.[9]Aloysius is also the patron ofValmontone, a town inLazio.

In art, St Aloysius is shown as a young man wearing a blackcassockandsurplice, or as apage. His attributes are alily, referring to innocence; across, referring to piety and sacrifice; a skull, referring to his early death; and arosary, referring to his devotion to theBlessed Virgin Mary.[4]

St. Joseph inGelsenkirchen, the location of German soccer clubSchalke 04, has a glass window of the saint with a soccer ball and refers to the Club colors and its strong fanbase.[13]

Not long after Aloysius\' death, on his feast day in 1608, the three daughters of his brother, Rodolfo, established, under his patronage, a community of women dedicated to education, under the formal name of theNoble Virgins of Jesus. This community still exists, although as of 2012it is currently reduced to two members.[14]

Saint Philomenawas a youngladywhose remains were discovered on May 24/25 1802 in theCatacombs of Priscilla. Three tiles enclosing the tomb bore an inscription (Pax Tecum Filumena) (i.e.\"Peace be to you, Philomena\") that was taken to indicate that her name (in the Latin of the inscription) was Filumena, the English form of which is Philomena. Philomena is the patron saint of infants, babies, and youth.

The remains were removed toMugnano del Cardinalein 1805 and became the focus of widespread devotion, with severalmiraclescredited to the saint\'sintercession, including the healing ofVenerablePauline Jaricotin 1835, which received wide publicity.Saint John Vianneyattributed to her intercession the extraordinary cures that others attributed to himself.

In 1833 a Neapolitan nun reported that in a vision Saint Philomena had revealed that she was aGreekprincess martyred at 13 years of age byDiocletian, who wasRoman Emperorfrom 284 to 305.

From 1837 to 1961 celebration of herliturgicalfeast was approved for some places, but was never included in theGeneral Roman Calendarfor universal use. The 1920 typical edition of theRoman Missalincluded a mention of her, under 11 August, in the section headedMissae pro aliquibus locis(Masses for some places), with an indication that the mass to be used in those places was one from the common of a virgin martyr, without any collect proper to the saint.[2]
