Answered Prayers From This Novena
Thank you St Francis Xavier!
My son’s skin pigmentation cleared; he now has normal skin and also then found his future wife.
All my children’s food allergies cleared as well. They’re all in unity and in love. Also Jesus has given me a spouse.
Who Was St. Francis Xavier?
Francis Xavier, S.J. was born on April 7, 1506 and became a great Catholic missionary after co-founding the Society of Jesus religious Order (the Jesuits).
He was born in the Kingdom of Navarre (in present-day Spain) and was a companion of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
He led the mission into Asia, primarily in what was the Portuguese Empire, and also in India.
He had the distinction of being the first Christian missionary to evangelize Japan and Borneo.
The Miraculous Novena of grace to St. Francis Xavier originates in Naples in December 1633, where Fr. Marcello Mastrilli (a Jesuit priest, like St. Francis Xavier), was on his deathbed.
St. Francis Xavier miraculously came to him and told him to renew the vows he had made to work for the conversion of souls in Japan.
St. Francis said to him: “All those who implore my help daily for nine consecutive days, from the 4th to the 12th of March included, and worthily receive the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist on one of the nine days, will experience my protection and may hope with entire assurance to obtain from God any grace they ask for the good of their souls and the glory of God.”
Fr. Mastrilli was miraculously cured at that moment. While traditionally it has been prayed in March, it is also prayed starting in late November to lead up to St. Francis Xavier’s feastday.
