SaintCast #112, Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, St. Jeopardy an the stars, Dante Alighieri, feedback +1.312.235.2278:
He died nearly alone, on tiny Sancian island, within sight of China
- only 10 km from the land of his life's dream. His dream. . to
evangelize the East. On today's podcast we explore the life and work
of Francis Xavier, directly responsible for baptizing the most converts
since St. Paul.We
know much about Xavier from his touching letters, and the letters of
those around him. A carefree college kid in Paris, he had a conversion
experience that led him, along with Ignatius Loyola, to found the
Jesuits. Steadfastly obedient to his mission, he traveled to India,
Japan, and Indonesia, and almost to China to bring the message of
Christianity to thousands. He is widely credited with changing the way
Christians evangelized by using the culture and ways of indiginous
peoples to introduce Christianity.
