| Madonna della Strada. Feast of Our Lady of the Way. |
| | Our Lady of the Way (Optional Memorial)
Our Lady of the Way (Madonna della Strada) was the name given by the first Jesuits to a late 13th century Byzantine fresco in a way-side chapel by the same name, in Rome. In 1540, Ignatius of Loyola and his companions occupied a house directly across from the chapel. The chapel, together with the residence, was for many years the “heart of the Society of Jesus”. It witnessed the contemplative life and corporate ministries of the early Jesuits. The icon, revered down the ages, is placed prominently in the magnificent Madonna Chapel in the Gesù, the mother-church of the Society of Jesus, in Rome, built over the original site. Our Lady of the Way is Patroness of the Society of Jesus.
