Saint Francis of the Seven Seas by Albert F. Nevins Pdf

This new story from the popular Vision Books series of saints lives for youth 9-15 years old is about the inspiring life of the great missionary to the Far East, St. Francis Xavier. After his wartorn boyhood in Navarre, Francis Xavier went to the University of Paris, determined to have a good time. He was interested in sports and became broadjumping champion of his college, and did not pay much attention to his studies. At first he scoffed at this fellow student, Ignatius Loyola, a former soldier who wanted to win the world for God. But Ignatius showed him that true champions are a far more heroic breed - those who risk their all to win the world for God. Francis joined Ignatius' followers, and became one of the first members of the Society of Jesus.Francis Xavier was selected by Ignatius to do missionary work in India. To all sixteenth-century travelers, a voyage from Portugal to India meant months of deadly peril from storms, pirates, and diseases. But to Father Francis Xavier, it also meant a chance to win the Orient for Jesus Christ. This great saint's eagerness to spread the Word of God involved him with the pearl divers of the Indian coast, the natives of Malaya and the Spice Islands, the cannibals of Morotni and the hostile feudal lords of ancient Japan. This book captures the true spirit of a daring man who braved the many dangers of India and Japan in amazing adventures of courage and faith.

The Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi by St. Francis of Assisi Pdf

Saint Francis is considered the first Italian poet by some literary critics. He believed commoners should be able to pray to God in their own language, and he often wrote in the dialect of Umbria instead of Latin. Francis' writing fully reflects his personality and spirituality, making them at once formidably mystic and exquisitely human. They combine great elevation of thought with much picturesqueness of expression. Through his prayers, correspondence and regulas readers will connect and unite with one of the most beloved saints of the Catholic Church.

The Life of St Francis Xavier by Philip Fogarty Pdf

A beautifully presented and fully illustrated book detailing the life of St Francis Xavier, co-founder of the Jesuits with St Ignatius. During his short lifetime in the sixteenth century, he travelled to Mozambique, India and Japan. Philip Fogarty's lively account of the remarkable life and journeys of St Francis Xavier keeps the memory of a great saint alive; he also puts his life in the context of how we might be influenced by him. He teaches us that it's worth throwing in your life with the love of God, receiving it and trying to share it, and that what you try to do in the service of God bears fruit somewhere, sometime.
