Download or read book Set All Afire written by Louis De Wohl and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Francis Xavier's life is, in itself, a dramatic story. With humility and deep religious conviction, the famous Catholic novelist Louis de Wohl takes us into the mind and heart of this great missionary and saint who went by order of St. Ignatius of Loyola to "set all afire" in the Orient. Louis de Wohl captivates the reader as he follows Xavier's life from student days in Paris, through his meeting with Ignatius, his rather reluctant conversion, and his travels as one of the first Jesuits. The story takes the reader from Europe to Goa, India, Malaysia, Japan, and finally, to an island off the coast of China, where the exiled Xavier dies virtually alone. The book captures the dramatic struggles and inspiring zeal of this remarkable saint, giving at the same time an enthralling picture of the age in which he lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like The Last Temptation of Christ, Saint Francis is a fictionalized biography of a widely venerated Christian figure: Francis of Assisi, whose renunciation of his young man’s life of leisure and founding of a religious order dedicated to living in poverty and sharing the Gospels with all living things profoundly influence the ways in which Christians the world over worship and give service to their god even today. Recounted in Nikos Kazantzakis’s striking prose through the eyes of the saint’s brother, Leo, the life of Saint Francis shines in these pages as a heroic example of inspirational leadership and boundless love for God and all His creatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALTHOUGH several beautiful Lives of St. Francis Xavier exist—some of them in our own language—I do not think that any excuse will be required for the attempt made in the present work to produce a new Life, which may satisfy in some sort the legitimate requirements of our own time. We are accustomed to set a higher value than men of former generations on those indications of personal character, in the case of great men and conspicuous Saints, which are to be found in their own words, in their letters, in anecdotes which set them familiarly before our eyes, and the like. The Catholics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries would take the letter of a Saint, for instance, of St. Teresa or St. Francis Xavier, and cut it to pieces for the sake of making up a signature out of letters from separate words, or forming some holy text in the Saint’s handwriting in the same way.

Book excerpt: 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.

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...

Download or read book Saint Among Savages written by Francis Xavier Talbot and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint among Savages tells the remarkable story of St. Isaac Jogues, a French Jesuit who was killed by Mohawks while serving as a missionary in New France. Coming from a upper middle class life in Orleans, he knew from an early age that he wanted to be a priest and serve abroad as a missionary to risk his life in order to save souls. Along with several others, collectively known as the North American Martyrs, he followed his dreams and met death in the American wilderness. Living with the Huron people in what is now Ontario, he was captured by Mohawk warriors and tortured and held captive for over a year. He escaped back to France with help from the Dutch in New York, and remarkably insisted on going back to New France, even though he knew what he might be facing. Besides Jogues' life there is also a lot of material about the lives and customs of the Native American peoples who lived along the St. Lawrence River.
