Saint among savages; the life of Isaac Jogues by Francis Talbot, S.J.

pg 390
Though dressed in secular clothes and engaged as the ambassador of the French, Father Jogues was busy with the affairs of God. He made his rounds of the cabins, seeking out the sick and the dying. Some adults, nearing their end, he baptized after receiving from them expression of their desire to be with God, and thus, remarked Lalemant, "he sent to heaven those poor dying creatures, predestined, however, to riches." He also found some babies also doomed to death, and forwarded them also to heaven. There were Huron and Algonquin Christians held prisoners, and these he instructed and strengthened and confessed.

Le Berger never manifested any wish to return to the Mohawk village. Nevertheless, the French, when they were bringing him down to Quebec, bound him securely with cords and irons each night. Always, he was found free of his shackles. The French were amazed. His only explanation was that his bonds fell off when he prayed to the great God of the French: "Thou who hast made all things, Thou knowest well that it is wrong for the French to treat me so roughly, taking me for a traitor. Thou knowest well that I am not a traitor. Have pity on me." He begged for baptism, but the French still suspected him of diabolical intentions. On October 31, 1649, he was shipped to France, arriving at Havre de Grace, December 7. He was in poor health on board the vessel, and, in addition, suffered an injury to his leg so that he was put in the hospital at Dieppe. He edifiede all who saw him, and continually asked to be baptized since he knew what the Blackrobes taught and could say all his prayers.
On January 22, he was brought to Paris and four day later was found to be mortally sick with a high fever. He was loved by everyone, but even yet, despite his pleadings, he was refused baptism. It was only half an hour before he died that they poured the saving water on his head. Such was the felicity, asserts the chronicler, "of an Iroquois who had, perhaps, eaten his share of more than fifty men." Father Lalemant wrote, in reference to Le Berger's claim about attempting to save Father Jogues: "That stroke upon his arm, received through charity, was perhaps the stroke of his predestination, for it may certainly be believed that this good Father obtained from Our Lord in Heaven the salvation of this man's souls in reward for his attempt to save the Father while in the body."
