I didn't read all but I saw no mention of saint Teresa of the Child Jesus as being co-patron of the missions with him. This is very important since God's Glory is expressed by the graces given to them by Him and which develope in a complementary way .
Please dear God protect from abuse. Please heal Jim from anger and over aggresive violent behavior. I need work to be independant. He takes all his troubles and worries out on me.
I have realized for the first time that St. Francis Xavier was a great saint all over the Asia and in Europe. The Counter Reformation was a big turning point in Catholic Charch. His enthusiasm for faith was important. His religious motivation was unmingled. However,Japanese took advantage of him because of new arm and drived him out because of civil war. The fact is tought every Japanese in high school. I think Japanese were not enlightened as far as internationalization when he was in flesh but Japanese kept up uniqueness. St. Francis Xavier, everlasting. Amen.
Have a St. Francis Xavier church in srilanka, 04/12/2011 is 175 jubilee in this church.
Dear Saint Francis Xavier, pray for us all and watch over and protect us from all harm and danger.
From Spain, an area near Javier homeland. An impressive article, with only one exception: There is not any Basque area in Navarre. Navarre is Navarre, a part of Spain.
keep up the good works.

GOD bless you and keep you in good health .
St.francis xavier you enlightened my life...
st.francis xavier pray for us..........
St. Francis Xavier, you have visited my homeland, lived there, worked miracles and converted my ancestors. St. Paul's hill in Malacca is dedicated to you, as on top of the hill you were laid to rest. The grave that was dug out still remains a place of pilgrimage for many. You revealed that you wished to be buried in Goa, whereupon you were taken there to have you final resting place. I hear that you lost a cross, dropped it into the sea. A crab marked with a cross on its shell brought it back to you. Seeing this many people were drawn to you and listened to your teachings. I'm proud to have taught at St. Francis' Institution, a famous school named after you, dear saint.Your desire to convert the Japanese sowed the first seeds of Christianity. You are indeed "Apostle of the east". St. Francis pray for us. Amen.
He is my Confirmation saint.
