December 3: St. Francis Xavier





St. Francis Xavier was born in Navarre, Spain, 1506. From St. Ignatius Loyola, he heard the words: "What does it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, but suffer the loss of his own soul?" He renounced his worldly life, and became one of the most zealous apostles who have ever preached the Gospel. He was a missionary. His particular fields of labor were India and Japan, where he converted innumerable pagans. He died off the coast of China in 1552.



Collect: O God, by the preaching and miracles of Blessed Francis, You were pleased to gather into Thy Church the nations of the Indies; mercifully grant that we, who venerate his glorious merits, may likewise follow the example of his virtues. Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

November 6: St. Nicholas of Myra 


St. Nicholas is distinguished in the Church for his holy austerity and childlike innocence. Chosen as Bishop of Myra in Licia, Asia Minor, he distinguished himself for his charity and liberality. He was particularly solicitous for the care of the young, and thus is venerated as the patron of children. He took part in the council of Nicea, in 325, which condemned the Arian heresy, where he was said to have slapped Arius himself. His relics are preserved in Bari, Italy.


 


Collect: O God, You adorned the Blessed Bishop Nicholas with countless miracles; grant, we beseech Thee, that by his merits and prayers we may be delivered from the flames of hell. Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
