(William Terence) For Greater Things: The Story of Saint Stanislaus Kostka "For Greater Things: The Story of Saint Stanislaus Kostka" by William T. Kane is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Saint Stanislaus Kostka, a young nobleman from Poland who, driven by his deep love for God and spiritual ideals, embarks on a remarkable journey to join the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) while overcoming numerous obstacles and challenges along the way. The opening of the book introduces Stanislaus at the young age of seventeen as he sets out on a bold journey from Vienna to Augsburg. He proudly dons a noble’s attire but is determined to humble himself, shedding his finery for a peasant's tunic as he walks along the dusty road, trusting in God's providence for his needs. As he travels, he encounters kindness and support from strangers, showcasing his cheerful demeanor and unwavering faith. The narrative also reveals the concern of his brother and tutor back in Vienna, who fear his departure may lead to dire consequences. This initial chapter sets the stage for his adventures, emphasizing the themes of courage, faith, and the pursuit of spiritual vocation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
