Few letters have been so enthusiastically received & so widely diffused as those of the sixteenth-century Jesuit missionary & Saint, Francis Xavier. Written from India, the Indonesian archipelago, Japan, & the island of Sancian off the coast of China, these letters were copied, recopied, translated into Latin, German, French, & other languages, & frequently printed for wider circulation. They are filled with information on newly discovered lands & cultures, & they are filled with the missionary spirit, the zeal for the honor & glory of God, which animated the whole of Xavier's life & work. They constitute a religious classic & an historical resource heretofore unavailable in English. Francis Xavier was one of the first companions & followers of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). In 1540, he set off as a missionary to southern Asia, where in the midst of ten years of ceaseless labor he produced the 138 letters & instructions that this book contains. The translator of this highly readable English version, M. Joseph Costelloe, S.J., is well known in scholarly circles for his masterful translation of the definitive four-volume biography, FRANCIS XAVIER, HIS LIFE, HIS TIMES by Georg Schurhammer, S.J., published by the Jesuit Historical Institute in Rome.

ALTHOUGH several beautiful Lives of St. Francis Xavier exist—some of them in our own language—I do not think that any excuse will be required for the attempt made in the present work to produce a new Life, which may satisfy in some sort the legitimate requirements of our own time. We are accustomed to set a higher value than men of former generations on those indications of personal character, in the case of great men and conspicuous Saints, which are to be found in their own words, in their letters, in anecdotes which set them familiarly before our eyes, and the like. The Catholics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries would take the letter of a Saint, for instance, of St. Teresa or St. Francis Xavier, and cut it to pieces for the sake of making up a signature out of letters from separate words, or forming some holy text in the Saint’s handwriting in the same way.

Of her vocation we read: “Only those who have yearned to bring souls to Christ can understand the sentiments which filled Irma's heart during her four years of patient waiting. But the summons came at last. In 1839 Bishop de la Hailandiere of Vincennes, Indiana, an intimate friend of the family, who was in France, seeking aid for his mission, visited Irma's home. Here was the heaven-sent messenger. Never did a Desdemona listen to an Othello with half the eagerness with which Irma listened to the details which Bishop de la Hailandiere gave of those distant lands in America where so many souls were in darkness and in the shadow of death. Immediately after the visit, Irma wrote to a friend: 'We had a visit yesterday from Bishop de la Hailandiere, who spoke of his diocese and his great labors. Cecile wished to set out with him immediately. I did not say any thing, but I thought, "It is there perhaps that God calls me." Eugenie laughs and will not believe me; her gayety and her assurance make me heartsick. Poor dear sister how she will weep when I leave her.'”

He, --not without labour also, --will know best how to keep us as we are, to govern us, and to make us advance from good to better, for he thoroughly knows every one of us. And after his death, speaking according to what my soul feels right, as if I were now at the point of death, I declare that Father Master Pierre Lefevre should be chosen. And in this respect God is my witness that I say exactly what I think. In witness of which I subscribe this with my own hand. Done at Rome in the year 1540, March 15. Francis. 3. In like manner, after the Society shall have been assembled and shall have chosen a Superior, I Francis promise, now for then, perpetual obedience, poverty, and chastity. And so, my dearest Father in Christ, Laynez, I beseech you for the service of our Lord God, in my absence to offer for me this my will with the three vows of Religion to the Superior, whom you and the rest shall have chosen. And from now, as from the day on which he shall be elected, I promise to observe them. In witness of which I have prepared this declaration signed with my own hand.

The following letter, which we quote from Menchacha, Epistoles S. Ignatii (1. 1, ep. xii.), shows, among other things, 'the great hurry in which our Saint left Rome for Portugal.

I am altogether prevented from writing to you at any length, as I would wish to do, by the great and extreme haste with which we are pressed at a moment's notice to send some of our Society to the Indies, some to Ireland, and.
