Ludovico's boundless love for others led to the creation of two religious communities—the Gray Brothers and the Gray Sisters—dedicated to continuing his legacy of mercy and compassion.
As he faced his final illness, Ludovico's unwavering faith shone brightly, leaving behind a powerful testament to the enduring power of love and devotion.
