ERSONS visiting the Gcsii arc frequently at a loss to understand the beautiful frescoes with which this splendid church is adorned. To remedy this inconvenience, the following short description has been written in the hope that entering into the meaning of these frescoes, the hearts of the beholders will be inflamed to greater love for Him ^ ^ in whose honour this splendid temple has been erected. Tlie Gesii forms a peifect Cross : we shall therefore consider the five divisions of this Cross. 1. THE HEAD OF THE CROSS, The head of the Cross is formed by the sanctuary. (It is need- less to observe that the High Altar as well as the Si<=««' matchless Virgin, DaughterTf the Father, Mother of the Son and Spouse of the Hoi; Ghost Turning to the left is a beautiful painting-the first^ommunion of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. The celebrant at the altar is another ca" lionized Saint, the great St. Charles Borromeo, Cardinal ArchW- shop of Milan. The father and mother of the young saint are pre sent at this heavenly banquet-On the right of thfsSntlngb a fresco representing St. Ignatius of Loyola in the Grotto of Kesa wherem he wrote hi.s relehratcd book of the " Spiritual Exerc"ses^' under the guidance of the Bl. Virgin. The fresfo on Jhelef shows we M r forth an apparition to St. Ignatius a few miles from Rome. Our Lord appeared to him, carrying his Cross and said : " /«//// fie fa- vorable to thee in Rome:' With our Blessed Lord was the Eternal A If "^ '■ep^'esented in the fresco with an orb surmounted by a Cross. ^ Above the painting, the central fresco shows us Our Lord bless- ing children. " Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven." On the right and left are guardian Angels with their wards — In the centre of the ceiling we have the Child Jesus at the age of twelve years, sitting in the Temple in the midst of the Doctors, asking and answering questions, so that all present were astonished at His wonderful wisdom. Over the arch in front of the Virgin's altar is a medallion of St Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus ; opposite to it, over the smaller organ is one of St. Francis Borgia, S. T., formerly DukeofGandiaand Vice-Roy of Catalonia. ' Behind this organ is a fresco representing the martyrdom of two Canadian Missionaries, Fathers Brebeuf and Lallemant, S. J., put to death for their faith more than two centuries ago, in Canada by the Iroquois Indians. ' The Left Arm of the Cross forms the Students' Chapel. IV. THE RIGHT ARM OF THE CROSS Crossing over to the pulpit side, we find St. Joseph's Chapel, 1 o the left of this chapel and alongside of the sanctuary is the Purgatorian Altar, whereon masses are frequently said for the eter- nal repose of the holy suffering souls in Purgatory. " It is a whole- some and pious thought to pray for the dead that they may be released from their sins." ' Over St, Joseph's Altar is a '-'«sco representing the Eternal i-ather seated on his throne, whlj Angels are unfolding a scroll with these words : " Ite ad Josepli-Go to Joseph :" words address- ed by the Egyptian King to those who came to him for relief in the time of the great famine. As Joseph, son of Jacob, was I the great steward of King Pharaoh, so Joseph, spouse of Mary, is i the steward of the most High, being placed by Him as Guardian I ot His adorable Son Jesus, and of Jesus' Spotless Mother the ever i xJlessed Virgin. Above the arch in front of this altar is a medallion of St. Francis ^ ' ■^*^'^j:» S. J., the Apostle to the Indies ; opposite this medallion is , one of St. John Francis Regis, S. J., an apostolic missionary in !• ranee. His tomb is -,ti!! held in great veneratioa at La Louvesc ' ;and numerous miracles attest his credit with Almighty God, ' ' I Turning to the right is a very beautiful painting of the youthful i [bt. Stanislaus Kostka, S. J,, receiving communion from the hands i ?u *.u T'- ^-^" '•^^ '^''^ °f ""3 painting is a fresco representing the three Japanese Mart;:r3, SS. Paul, John and James, S. J. Thes« holy Martyi^ were crucified for the Faith in company with several others at Nangasaki m Japan. On the right of the painting is another fresco representing the Martyrdom of Bl. Andrew Bobola. A' '^^V^'^ P"'. 'o tleath for the Faith by the Cossacits in Poland! Uver the painting, the central fresco represents the raising of Lazarus from the dead. On the left we have the good father receiv- in^ back his prodigal son ; and on the right, the good shepherd bringing back on his shoulders the lost sheep. On the ceiling is the Holy Family at work; the child Jesus is helping his foster-father St. Joseph to saw a piece of wood ; near by is the Immaculate Virgin Mother engaged with the distaflF. On the wall opposite St. Joseph's altar, is a fresco representing the m^tydom of Bl. John de Britto, S. J., put to death m Marava. Besides the frescoes we have described, there are several minor ones which scarcely need explanation. The Church of the Gesii is attached to St. Mary's College, and both belong to thu Jesuit Fathers. The opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of the French language whilst pursuing their course ot studies, has induced many persons from the other provinces of the Dominion, and from the U. States to send their sons and wards to this college. The Gesu, in the opinion of many, the most beautiful temple erected to God in the Northern portion of America, has been built at considerable expense. A very heavy debt still remains to be paid. 1 he Jesuit Fathers will feel grateful to all who will become their benefactors by helping to relieve them of this heavy burden of debt. He who gives to the poor, lends to the Lord." The Fathers ot this Church are truly poor. Lend to the Lord ; there can lie no better security. x^r^ilO^^t.^ - S. ii. i). €. PROSPECTUS OP ST.
