St Francis Xavier

Isaiah 30:19-26; Psalm 147A;
Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5, 6-8

Ancestors in faith

In Isaiah we read, ‘He will be gracious to you when he hears your cry. You will hear these words behind you. This is the way, follow it.’ Francis Xavier was passionate about God’s mission. He heard his call clearly, to proclaim the Good News in Asia. I’ve met people from Asia who say, ‘we are only Catholic because Francis Xavier brought us the faith.’ Who are the ancestors of your faith? Who has helped you to see and hear God in your life?
