From the tome Lives of Saints with Excerpts from Their Writings, Selected and Illustrated, edited by Rev. Father Joseph Vann, O.F.M. (New York: John J. Crawley & Co., Inc., 1954), here is a Letter written by St. Isaac Jogues, sent before he ventured forth to win his glorious crown of martyrdom.
May Our Lord and His Blessed Mother deign to pour forth into the hearts of all clerics throughout the Catholic world the Apostolic zeal and selfless magnanimity of this great Martyr!
