evade him. On his way to Augsburg, he entered a church,
thinking it was Catholic, to receive the Holy Eucharist, but
found to his disappointment and disgust that he was among
Lutherans. He believed, however, that an angel came from
heaven and miraculously communicated him.
The vigorous exercise, the fresh air, dissipated the remains
of the malady which still clung to him, and he arrived in
good condition at Augsburg. Hearing that Father Canisius
was not there, but at Dilingen, he went thither, and presented himself before him as candidate for the honour of the
novitiate. Canisius, to try his vocation, ordered him to
wait at table on the pensioners of the college, and sweep
out their rooms. He did so without objecting, and with a
great spirit of enthusiasm. Canisius, finding it impossible to
conceal him there, to put him beyond the pursuit of his
parents, sent him to Rome. He made the journey on foot
with two companions, and probably enjoyed thoroughly the
expedition over the Alps, threading the beautiful valleys
between Fussen and Innsbruck, by Reutte and Nassereit,
and then crossing the Brenner and descending the valley of
the Adige, catching the weird Dolomite peaks on the East,
as he came upon Botzen. On reaching Rome he was
received by S. Francis Borgia, then General of the Order,
and was given the habit on the feast of SS. Simon and Jude
1567, when aged seventeen.
His father was greatly incensed, not only against his son,
but also against the Jesuits, for having smuggled the boy
out of his reach. He wrote an angry letter to Stanislas, and
told him that should he return to Poland, he would have
him ironed and put under ward. Stanislas, in the fervour of
his profession, replied that he was happy where he was, and
had no intention of returning. The trudge on foot from
Vienna to Augsburg, and the further walk over the Alps, had
done wonders for his health, and set him up for a while.
