Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Francis Xavier: Apostle of India and Japan The boy received in Baptism the name of Francis. Catholics throughout the world venerate him as the greatest' of missionaries and apostles since the days of Peter and Paul and their brethren, and call him St. Francis Xavier. He was born a few weeks before Columbus, the great Pathfinder, and the Discoverer of the New World, died in poverty at Valladolid, as if God wished that the man who bore the light of the Gospel to the West should not end his earthly career before a child was given to Spain who should bear the message of the] Cross to the remote and pagan East. The family, in which Francis de Jassu y Xavier was the sixth child, belonged to the nobility of Na varre. It had given, on the father's side, to the ser vice Of Church, country and King, magistrates of irreproachable honor, learned doctors, fighting men also, who, with the finest qualities of Basque, Na varrese and Spanish blood mingling in their veins, were never known to turn back from a fight or betray their duty. Dona 'maria de Azpilcueta, the mother Of Francis, was a soldier's daughter and could trace back her lineage through a long pedigree, of feudal lords, to Duke Bridon Aznar, the common ancestor of the Kings of Aragon and Navarre. But in their fortress home of Xavier, Don John de Jassu and Dona Maria de Azpilcueta seldom thought or spoke of their ancestral honors. They knew how little these honors enhanced their genuine worth, and realized that it was not in them, but in themselves, in their own virtues, in their own life and conduct that they must look for their true merit and greatness. From all that we can gather from the scanty rec ords of the childhood and boyhood of Francis, the life in the grim stronghold of his race, must have been one of rugged simplicity, surrounded by an atmosphere of profound faith, the faith of Catholic Spain in its days of glory, of loyalty to God and King.

CHAPTER VI In the Venice of India (1542) IN one of the numerous letters which the Apostle of India has left us, and in which he has so artlessly laid bare the secrets of his soul, he tells us that when he arrived at Goa he found it peopled with Christians. The city, which later times called the Golden, and not without exaggeration compared to Venice, was fair to behold, he writes. He marveled at its monasteries, its cathedral, its hospitals and churches, and thanked God that in the midst of so many unbelievers he found such striking evidences of piety and faith. Ten years after his landing in Goa, Xavier was to close his heroic career of apostle and his unparalleled series of victories and conquests for the Faith on a lonely island off the China coast. For ten years only his hands would be able to hold up the torch of truth, for, giant though he was, they would not be able to bear any longer the titanic burden which his zeal and his charity would place upon them. But while-the torch burned in his hands it was to light a continent with its imperishable flame. From Goa the light was to spread to Calicut, to Travancore, to the capes and the headlands of the southernmost extremities of India. Malacca, the Spice Islands, the isles of far Japan would behold its' beams. Scarcely had the Saint touched the shores of India and knelt to kiss the soil he was to win for the King whom Master Ignatius had made him know so well and love so tenderly, than he longed to begin his work of herald and apostle of Christ. All the Saints are sealed with one common sign, their supereminent love of God. It is to that they owe their sanctity. That is the secret of their great 34 aess, the comer stone on which they rear the edifice of their holiness. The apostolic...
