A Hero for All Times  | St Francis Xavier is one of the most universally popular of all saints. In his short 46years, he lived a full and varied life: from his noble Spanish beginnings to his wild days in the university of Paris; from his conversion there by St Ignatius to the beginnings of the Jesuits in Rome; from Rome to Portugal and then on to the unknown and mysterious continent of Asia: India, the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia, Japan, and even to the threshold of China itself. There he died in 1552, exhausted in the service of God and of his beloved people. | Price: €3.50
