tell you everything from the very
28
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:06,630
beginning about 500 years ago there was
29
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:08,489
this little boy who grew up in a castle
30
00:02:08,489 --> 00:02:12,870
in northern Spain his name was Francis
31
00:02:12,870 --> 00:02:16,020
Xavier in those days in Europe you had
32
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:17,790
to be rich to have your own castle to
33
00:02:17,790 --> 00:02:20,100
run around it and Francis family
34
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,120
certainly was but he was very young his

00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,980
father and brother left to go to war

against an enemy Kingdom little Francis
37
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:32,410
was left with his prayer and study books
38
00:02:32,410 --> 00:02:35,080
but his father was killed in battle and
39
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,810
as a result the family went through bad
40
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:40,480
times the experience affected Frances
41
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,880
deeply and he swore never to become a
42
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,880
warrior a knight like his father instead
43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,070
he wanted to make something else of
44
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:50,260
himself so that he could restore his
45
00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:53,650
family's lost honor that meant studying

in a big university when he was 19
47
00:02:56,650 --> 00:02:59,470

stronger Ignatius taught his friend how
83
00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:31,590
to pray to be disciplined and to make
84
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:34,139
sacrifices Ignatius became a teacher to

00:04:37,169 --> 00:04:39,770
a deeper relationship with God
87
00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:43,530

student as the lumpy Estonia's worked

00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,750
so bored with a silence that he had to

00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:56,819
tie himself up with ropes finally four

Land but a war was going on there at the
101
00:05:21,150 --> 00:05:24,630
time instead they went to Rome to visit

00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:28,460
the Pope and to ask for his advice

mr. boat it's mr. boat most people go to
105
00:05:34,610 --> 00:05:36,380
Rome to see the Pope because they want
106
00:05:36,380 --> 00:05:38,930
to ask for prayers and favors or they
107
00:05:38,930 --> 00:05:40,760
join the package tour because they want
108
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,050
that picture taken with His Holiness

[Music]
113
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:54,990
the Pope at that time for the third told
114
00:05:54,990 --> 00:05:56,820
them to stay in Italy where there was a
115
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:57,840
lot of work to do
116
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,630
with that advice Ignatius and his fellow
117
00:06:00,630 --> 00:06:02,820
priests decided to form a new religious
118
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:06,780
order the Jesuits Francis and Ignatius
119
00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:08,970
also swore that they would accept any
120
00:06:08,970 --> 00:06:10,740
mission that the Pope would give them
121
00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:12,540
even if that meant leaving the
122
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:14,490
cosmopolitan cities of Europe for
123
00:06:14,490 --> 00:06:18,420
distant and strange lands shortly after
124
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:20,520
the King of Portugal asked Ignatius to
125
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,560
send two Jesuits to their new colony in
126
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,350
India the King wanted to convert the
127
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:28,080
rest of the world Christianity at the
128
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,270
last minute one of the priests fell ill
129
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:34,770
and Francis had to take his place as he
130
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:36,420
said goodbye to Ignatius and his fellow
131
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:38,850
brothers Francis thought of the dangers
132
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:39,740
that awaited him
133
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:42,660
he knew half of all travelers on sea
134
00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:45,390
voyages never made it and if he did
135
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:47,430
survive he would probably never see
136
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:50,850
Europe or his friends again he begged
137
00:06:50,850 --> 00:06:53,220
Ignatius to send him long letters so
138
00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:54,630
that it would take him a long time to
139
00:06:54,630 --> 00:06:57,120
read them it was only through his
140
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,950
letters he told his friend that they
141
00:06:58,950 --> 00:07:01,230
would ever see each other again in his
142
00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:05,250
lifetime there was no such thing as jet
143
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,740
speed travel in those days people spent
144
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:10,020
months and even years to get to their
145
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:13,380
destination from Rome Francis wrote a
146
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:16,770
horse to get to Lisbon in Portugal when
147
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,450
he finally got on a ship to take him to
148
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:19,020
Asia
149
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:21,870
he became seasick and was even stranded
150
00:07:21,870 --> 00:07:23,310
for several months off the coast of
151
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:27,570
Africa finally after more than a year he
152
00:07:27,570 --> 00:07:31,460
reached Goa in southern India
153
00:07:33,090 --> 00:07:37,110
ah India one of the most exotic
154
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:40,199
mysterious places in the Orient land of
155
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:42,000
snake charmers and brightly colored
156
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,090
sarees it also was in France this time
157
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:48,180
as it remains today one of the poorest
158
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:52,260
places in the world Frances first task
159
00:07:52,260 --> 00:07:54,419
was to convert the parabolas the
160
00:07:54,419 --> 00:07:56,160
parabolas belonged to the lowest class
161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,620
in Indian society they were called The
162
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:01,530
Untouchables their fellow Indians did
163
00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:02,790
not want to have anything to do with
164
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:05,030
them
165
00:08:06,979 --> 00:08:08,940
Frances would walk through their
166
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:11,220
villages ringing a bell to signal to
167
00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:13,440
them that he had arrived and classes
168
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,490
were about to begin he won the local
169
00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:19,830
folk over with his open spirit and his
170
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:22,200
music he would set the prayers and the
171
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,539
catechism lessons into song so that they
172
00:08:24,539 --> 00:08:27,570
would be easier to remember pretty soon
173
00:08:27,570 --> 00:08:29,550
even the fisherman to be heard seeing
174
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:32,429
Christian songs children in particular
175
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,760
were among his most loyal disciples he
176
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,620
taught them the Apostles Creed and told
177
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:39,750
them to recite it inside people's homes
178
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:42,390
this way he said people learned about
179
00:08:42,390 --> 00:08:44,820
Christ inside their huts and on the
180
00:08:44,820 --> 00:08:49,170
streets but Savior was often at odds
181
00:08:49,170 --> 00:08:51,900
with his fellow Europeans in India he
182
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,400
did not like the way the Portuguese
183
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,589
officials treated the natives they were
184
00:08:55,589 --> 00:08:57,420
not concerned about the Indians welfare
185
00:08:57,420 --> 00:09:00,180
the Portuguese as a sculpture from that
186
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:02,670
time shows preferred to put the Indians
187
00:09:02,670 --> 00:09:06,570
down to keep them in their place it was
188
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:08,850
only Francis who dreamed of lifting them
189
00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:12,860
up and helping them improve their lives
190
00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:15,810
Francis was so angry with the Portuguese
191
00:09:15,810 --> 00:09:18,240
in India that he decided to leave and to
192
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,360
travel to Malacca which today geography
193
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,470
lesson kids is part of Malaysia
194
00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:27,990
at the waterfront he was welcomed by
195
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:29,640
both the Portuguese and the native
196
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,530
Malays who had heard about the great
197
00:09:31,530 --> 00:09:35,690
things he had done in India in melaka
198
00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:38,220
francis was often invited to dinners and
199
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:40,530
other celebrations he was the life of
200
00:09:40,530 --> 00:09:42,120
the party because of his sunny
201
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,390
personality people called him Alegre the
202
00:09:45,390 --> 00:09:47,730
cheerful one he always made it a point
203
00:09:47,730 --> 00:09:49,770
to praise his hosts on the meal and to
204
00:09:49,770 --> 00:09:52,560
ask who cooked it this way everyone
205
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:57,120
easily felt at home with it he also
206
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,100
became friends with the lower classes of
207
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:01,650
colonial society like the seamen who
208
00:10:01,650 --> 00:10:02,970
spent their time drinking and gambling
209
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:05,820
sometimes he would even join in he tell
210
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:08,400
them your semen no reason why you should
211
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,740
live like monks to have a good time
212
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:12,840
without offending God is better than
213
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,710
fighting despite his being treated as a
214
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:20,570
VIP that's very important priest to you
215
00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:23,340
Francis lived the same simple life that
216
00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:25,860
he had in India inside his hop was just
217
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:28,590
a table crucifix and prayer book he
218
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:29,750
didn't like sleeping on his bed
219
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:32,250
preferring instead to sleep on the floor
220
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:36,350
with a rock as his pillow
221
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:40,190
in melaka francis was successful and
222
00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:43,190
happy he had many friends but he also
223
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:45,680
knew there were other more remote places
224
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,110
waiting for him shortly afterwards he
225
00:10:48,110 --> 00:10:51,050
left for the malukas the Spice Islands
226
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:56,810
my hometown and now we get to the really
227
00:10:56,810 --> 00:10:58,640
interesting part of the story because
228
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:08,180
you'll find out how I got the Spice
229
00:11:08,180 --> 00:11:09,830
Islands were a great source of wealth
230
00:11:09,830 --> 00:11:12,620
for the Portuguese all kinds of spices
231
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:14,630
from clothes nutmeg cinnamon pepper
232
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:16,640
we're planted there you can still get
233
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,560
them in the local market today you can
234
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,840
also find the type of crab found only in
235
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,050
the islands the st. Francis crowd ask
236
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:25,070
any fisherman
237
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:27,080
any villager and he'll tell you why we
238
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,460
crabs have this cross on our shelves
239
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:33,650
one day when st. Francis was travelling
240
00:11:33,650 --> 00:11:35,210
to one of the islands of the malukas
241
00:11:35,210 --> 00:11:38,450
called Ambon a great storm broke out
242
00:11:38,450 --> 00:11:41,270
Francis prayed and prayed but because of
243
00:11:41,270 --> 00:11:43,340
the violent waves his cross fell into
244
00:11:43,340 --> 00:11:46,040
the water later after the storm died
245
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,560
down and Francis reached land he went to
246
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,300
the beach feeling bad because he had
247
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:52,310
brought only one cross and he had lost
248
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:55,580
it lo and behold he saw a crab carrying
249
00:11:55,580 --> 00:11:58,790
a cross his cross from that time on
250
00:11:58,790 --> 00:12:00,980
fishermen would find some crabs with
251
00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:04,780
mysterious crosses on their backs
252
00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:08,970
the resemblance is startling isn't it
253
00:12:08,970 --> 00:12:12,089
actually that wasn't really me
254
00:12:12,089 --> 00:12:15,279
that was my great-great-great
255
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:19,089
grandfather but then let's move on with
256
00:12:19,089 --> 00:12:25,450
our story in the malukas each Island
257
00:12:25,450 --> 00:12:27,310
that Francis visited was more distant
258
00:12:27,310 --> 00:12:29,560
and more dangerous than the one before
259
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:31,899
one particular Island was said to be
260
00:12:31,899 --> 00:12:35,050
inhabited by a savage tribe Francis's
261
00:12:35,050 --> 00:12:37,390
friends worried for his safety and told
262
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:40,450
him not to go but once again he put his
263
00:12:40,450 --> 00:12:43,300
trust in God and left for the island he
264
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:44,800
lived with the tribesmen for several
265
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,870
months and became very good friends with
266
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:49,899
him in fact when the time came for him
267
00:12:49,899 --> 00:12:50,470
to leave
268
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:52,750
Francis decided to go secretly at night
269
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:55,690
to avoid any sad goodbyes but his
270
00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:59,860
friends still managed to see him off by
271
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:02,079
this time Francis had been traveling
272
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:04,660
around Asia for several years with each
273
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:06,610
place he visited he made a new set of
274
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:08,980
friends only to leave them for another
275
00:13:08,980 --> 00:13:10,839
group in another village in another
276
00:13:10,839 --> 00:13:14,020
island his life was a series of welcomes
277
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:17,680
and goodbyes but the more he gave the
278
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:22,209
more he received in return still he
279
00:13:22,209 --> 00:13:23,709
missed Ignatius and his fellow brothers
280
00:13:23,709 --> 00:13:25,360
in Europe he would read their letters
281
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,600
all the time then he would cut out their
282
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,310
signatures and put them in his necklace
283
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:33,339
together with his vows that way he said
284
00:13:33,339 --> 00:13:36,680
he would always remember them
285
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,200
his next mission would be one of the
286
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,430
most difficult in his life after leaving
287
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:45,890
the Moluccas Frances returned briefly to
288
00:13:45,890 --> 00:13:49,970
go on and then left again for Japan he
289
00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:51,950
arrived in a town called Kagoshima on
290
00:13:51,950 --> 00:13:54,020
the southern island of Kyushu with him
291
00:13:54,020 --> 00:13:56,060
were ya Jiro a Japanese he met in
292
00:13:56,060 --> 00:13:58,670
Malacca and a Spanish Jesuit named Juan
293
00:13:58,670 --> 00:14:00,890
Fernandez there is even a monument to
294
00:14:00,890 --> 00:14:02,959
their arrival in Japan showing Francis
295
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:04,610
being carried on the back of your Giro
296
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:09,440
so in Japan Francis had a harder time
297
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,240
winning over converts than in his
298
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,850
earlier trips he was terrible with a
299
00:14:13,850 --> 00:14:16,820
language it took him 40 days just to
300
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:20,470
recite the 10 commandments in Japanese
301
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:23,000
still with the help of yaichiro and
302
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,680
brother Fernandez who spoke better
303
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,200
Japanese Francis began preaching to the
304
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,510
citizens of Kagoshima one of his
305
00:14:29,510 --> 00:14:31,250
converts was a young man by the name of
306
00:14:31,250 --> 00:14:34,220
Bernardo he later became Francis's
307
00:14:34,220 --> 00:14:36,410
constant companion and one of the first
308
00:14:36,410 --> 00:14:39,500
Japanese Jesuits Francis also developed
309
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,180
a close friendship with a Zen Buddhist
310
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:43,490
monk they often met to discuss their
311
00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:48,980
views on religion Francis wanted to go
312
00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:51,620
north to Miyako he thought the Emperor
313
00:14:51,620 --> 00:14:53,540
lived there he wanted to ask for his
314
00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:55,550
permission to preach together with
315
00:14:55,550 --> 00:14:57,920
Bernardo and brother Fernandez Francis
316
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,640
set out on the long journey for days and
317
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,350
days they walked through mountains and
318
00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:05,660
valleys covered with snow they hardly
319
00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:07,220
had any protection against the severe
320
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:09,890
cold Francis's feet became so bruised
321
00:15:09,890 --> 00:15:12,380
and swollen that at one point he had to
322
00:15:12,380 --> 00:15:14,240
remove his shoes and continue the
323
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,029
journey barefoot Francis never stopped
324
00:15:17,029 --> 00:15:21,250
even when his feet began to bleed
325
00:15:21,980 --> 00:15:24,750
sadly the Emperor of Japan they were
326
00:15:24,750 --> 00:15:27,030
about to meet in Miyako turned out to be
327
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:29,130
a powerless warlord they couldn't even
328
00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:31,020
see him because they were too poor to
329
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:34,800
pay the fee he demanded they tried their
330
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,690
luck again by paying their respects to
331
00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:38,580
the ruler of the province of Yamaguchi
332
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:41,100
this time to their great joy the
333
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:43,340
official gave them his permission
334
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:46,410
soon after Francis was able to baptize a
335
00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:48,990
nobleman and five hundred other citizens
336
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:51,330
of Yamaguchi he was also able to convert
337
00:15:51,330 --> 00:15:53,730
a half blind street musician who he
338
00:15:53,730 --> 00:15:58,650
later named Lorenzo after he left Japan
339
00:15:58,650 --> 00:16:00,900
the authorities began their persecution
340
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,810
of Christians in Nagasaki Christians
341
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:08,150
were hung on crosses and executed
342
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:10,330
the situation was similar in nearby
343
00:16:10,330 --> 00:16:13,360
China the Emperor of China forbade all
344
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,180
contact with foreigners anyone caught
345
00:16:16,180 --> 00:16:19,000
breaking that law was imprisoned and put
346
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,910
to death but Francis wanted to enter no
347
00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:22,960
matter what it took
348
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,030
he believed that if he converted China
349
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:27,280
to Christianity the rest of Asia would
350
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,040
follow together with a Chinese merchant
351
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,500
from Malacca named Antonia he arrived in
352
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,630
sanchow an island off the southern coast
353
00:16:34,630 --> 00:16:37,720
of China there he met a man from the
354
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,970
city of Guangdong the man agreed to
355
00:16:39,970 --> 00:16:41,920
smuggle Francis into the city to meet
356
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,200
with a governor francis paid him a small
357
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,120
fortune and the man promised to return
358
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,060
as soon as he could
359
00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:51,700
Francis waited and waited but the man
360
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:54,090
never came back
361
00:16:54,090 --> 00:16:56,260
Francis developed a high fever and
362
00:16:56,260 --> 00:16:59,860
became bedridden as the days passed his
363
00:16:59,860 --> 00:17:02,080
health got worse but he never gave up
364
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:08,050
his dream of entering China soon after
365
00:17:08,050 --> 00:17:11,730
with only Antonia by his side he died
366
00:17:11,730 --> 00:17:15,630
without realizing his dream
367
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,970
I know what you guys are thinking you
368
00:17:20,970 --> 00:17:23,309
didn't have to enter China he didn't
369
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:26,189
live to see his friends he died a poor
370
00:17:26,189 --> 00:17:30,059
heartbroken man worse all alone in a
371
00:17:30,059 --> 00:17:32,070
faraway place where he couldn't even
372
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:35,039
speak the language where's the glory and
373
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:39,870
all that but when you really think about
374
00:17:39,870 --> 00:17:42,210
it here was a man who traveled great
375
00:17:42,210 --> 00:17:45,059
distances moving from one place to the
376
00:17:45,059 --> 00:17:48,179
next meeting strangers simply because he
377
00:17:48,179 --> 00:17:52,799
wanted to help others find God the only
378
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,190
things he could share were prayers jokes
379
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:58,139
gestures of kindness he lived a very
380
00:17:58,139 --> 00:18:01,139
ordinary life but people he met thought
381
00:18:01,139 --> 00:18:02,970
he was very special and whatever
382
00:18:02,970 --> 00:18:05,039
goodness he did was never forgotten
383
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:09,620
years and years and years after he died
384
00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:12,419
Francis Xavier was made a saint on March
385
00:18:12,419 --> 00:18:16,399
12 16 20 to 70 years after his death
386
00:18:16,399 --> 00:18:19,139
along with his friend Ignatius of Loyola
387
00:18:19,139 --> 00:18:22,740
and so his dream became a reality only
388
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:25,549
after his death
389
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,600
in Goa in India where most people are
390
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,480
Hindi almost everyone knows about st.
391
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,640
Francis Xavier because he supported the
392
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,860
Indians against the colonizers even
393
00:18:36,860 --> 00:18:39,410
non-christians love him they regard him
394
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:42,620
as some kind of national hero his body
395
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:44,750
is preserved inside the Basilica in Goa
396
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:47,480
and on his feast day the town streets
397
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,710
are filled with admirers
398
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:53,809
on the other side of the world in a
399
00:18:53,809 --> 00:18:56,120
Jesuit Church in Rome the city where
400
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:57,889
Francis and Ignatius Loyola founded the
401
00:18:57,889 --> 00:19:00,320
order of the Jesuits you can still see
402
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,990
his right arm it is the same right arm
403
00:19:02,990 --> 00:19:05,210
that travel across continents blessing
404
00:19:05,210 --> 00:19:07,940
and baptizing people today when you look
405
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:10,669
at it it feels like it is still blessing
406
00:19:10,669 --> 00:19:14,840
you in Japan where the Christian Church
407
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,750
suffered very deeply what Savior planet
408
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:19,490
continues to grow strong with the
409
00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:23,539
Japanese Christians and every year in
410
00:19:23,539 --> 00:19:25,639
that castle in Spain where he was born
411
00:19:25,639 --> 00:19:28,309
mostly young people gather for what they
412
00:19:28,309 --> 00:19:30,470
call the Xavier era it is the pilgrimage
413
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:32,840
to remember the journey of st. Francis
414
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600
life Francis the pilgrims bring very
415
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,789
little with them and share whatever they
416
00:19:37,789 --> 00:19:41,169
have with others
417
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:48,950
so you see this isn't so bad after all
418
00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:53,130
in fact it's pretty cool every time I
419
00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:56,250
look at it I remember a great man and
420
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:58,650
his great dream of helping people find
421
00:19:58,650 --> 00:20:03,450
God but you know what you don't need
422
00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:05,039
this thing on your back to be like Saint
423
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:07,020
Francis as long as you dream of helping
424
00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:09,780
others find God and you work at it
425
00:20:09,780 --> 00:20:13,590
then you can be like him so it's your
426
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:15,720
turn to do what st. Francis Xavier did
427
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,750
in your own small way and while you're
428
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,460
at it why don't you throw in a little
429
00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:24,690
smile pretty soon you will have a cross
430
00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:29,070
to wear to me no not on your back but in
431
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:31,520
your heart
