He was a companion of St. Ignatius at Paris, and one + of his earliest disciples. Under his teaching, he learnt to + become so wrapt in the contemplation of divine things, that + he was sometimes lifted in ecstasy off the ground, which + happened to him several times when he was saying Mass in + public before large congregations. He earned these + refreshments of the soul by the sharpest punishment of the + body. He gave up the use not only of meat and wine, but also + of wheaten bread; he lived on the vilest food, and ate only + once every two or three days. He used an iron scourge till + his blood ran freely; he shortened the hours of his rest, and + lay only on the ground. + + + The hardness and holiness of his life had made him meet to be + called to be an Apostle, and when John III, King of Portugal, + asked Pope Paul III to send to the Indies some members of the + then new Society of Jesus, the Pontiff, by the advice of St. + Ignatius, sent Francis to enter on that vast field of labour + with the powers of Apostolic Nuncio. He arrived (in India on + the 6th day of May, in the year 1542.) When he began his + work, it seemed as though God Himself taught him the many and + difficult languages of the natives. It even happened that + when he preached in one language to a mixed congregation of + different nationalities, each one heard him in his own + tongue wherein he was born. He travelled over countless + districts, always walking, and often bare-footed. He + introduced the faith into Japan, and six other countries. In + India he turned many hundred thousands to Christ, and + regenerated many chiefs and kings in the holy font. And + notwithstanding that he was doing all these great things for + God's service, so deep was his lowliness that when he wrote + to St. Ignatius, the General of the Society, he did so on his + knees. + + + God was pleased to support his zeal for spreading the Gospel + with many and great miracles. He gave sight to a blind man. + On one occasion the supply of fresh water failed when he was + at sea, and five hundred sailors were in danger of perishing + by thirst, but the servant of God, by the sign of the Cross, + turned salt water into fresh, and they used it for a + considerable time. Some of this water was also carried into + different countries, and a great number of sick persons were + instantaneously cured by it. He called several dead men to + life, among whom was one who had been buried the day before, + and who was disinterred by command of the saint; and likewise + two others who were being carried to the grave, and whom he + took by the hand and restored living to their parents. He had + the spirit of prophecy, and foretold many things, remote both + in place and time. Utterly worn out with his labours, he died + full of good works in the island of San-Chan in the Canton + River, (upon the 2nd day of December, in the year of our Lord + 1552.) His body was buried in quick lime, and, being again + taken up, was again buried in the same, but at the end of + many months it was found entirely incorrupt, and sweet, and, + when cut, blood flowed freely from it. From China it was + carried to Malacca, and, as soon as it reached that place, a + plague, which was raging there, ceased. At length, when he + had become famous throughout the whole world for new and + wonderful miracles, Gregory XV added his name to the list of + the Saints. + status: { la: verified, en: verified } + + - nocturn: 3 + isGospel: false + source: "Pope St. Gregory the Great, Homily 29 on the Gospels (Mark 16:15-18)" + text: + la: >- + Potest omnis creaturæ nómine omnis natio Géntium designari. + Ante enim dictum fuerat: In viam Géntium ne abieritis; nunc + autem dícitur: Prædicate omni creaturæ: ut scilicet prius a + Judǽa Apostolórum repulsa prædicátio tunc nobis in adjutórium + fieret, cum hanc illa ad damnatiónis suæ testimónium superba + repulísset.

Now, perchance, thou sayest + in thine heart I believe, and therefore I shall be saved. + True, if to thy faith thou dost add works.

(Tit. i. 16.) + + + And these signs shall follow them that believe In My name + they shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new + tongues, they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any + deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on + the sick, and they shall recover. My brethren, these signs do + not follow us. Do we, then, not believe? Nay. The truth is, + these things were needful when the Church was young. That she + might grow by the increase of the faithful, she needed to be + nourished with miracles. So we, when we plant a young tree, + continually water and tend it, till we see that it hath taken + firm root in the earth but when once it hath taken firm root, + it can grow of itself. Hence Paul saith of tongues Tongues + are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that + believe not. ~(i Cor. xiv. 22.) + status: { la: verified, en: verified }
