O God, Who wast pleased to gather
into Thy Church the nations of the
Indies by the preaching and miracles
of blessed Francis: mercifully grant
that we, who venerate his glorious
merits, may also imitate the example
of his virtues. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, Thy Son, Who lives and reigns
with Thee in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen.

Reflection.—Some are specially called to work for souls; but there is no one who cannot help much in their salvation. Holy example, earnest intercession, the offerings of our actions in their behalf—all this needs only the spirit which animated St. Francis Xavier, the desire to make some return to God.
