Preface

The Letters of St. Francis Xavier have always been highly prized for their spiritual wisdom and discernment, apart from the historical value which they possess as the best materials for the narrative of his Life. The present volume consists of such passages, selected from these Letters, as seemed most generally valuable to Catholic readers, with the omission of such parts as are principally narrative, but without departing from the chronological order.

H. J.C.

May 13. Sunday within the Octave of the Ascension, 1888.

Contents

PAGE i. First Letter after leaving Rome

2. Some account of the Journey to Lisbon .
