The Miracles of St. Francis Xavier: Humility, Missionary Zeal & Divine Power

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon on the Feast of St. Francis Xavier, we reflect on the words of Christ: “These signs shall follow them that believe…” From miraculous healings and raising the dead to divine protection and the gift of tongues, the life of St. Francis Xavier stands as a living fulfillment of the Gospel. This homily explores: • The miraculous works attributed to St. Francis Xavier • His profound humility, struggles, and temptations • His missionary journeys through India, Japan, Indonesia, and surrounding islands • Documented miracles from his canonization records • His deep faith, perseverance, and desire to convert China • Accounts of ecstasy, levitation, raising the dead, healings, and divine protection • His holy death and miraculous incorrupt body St. Francis Xavier’s life is a testimony that when faith and humility work together, God performs wonders. May his example rekindle our belief in God’s power to act in our own lives today. 🙏 Feast Day: December 3 🙏 Patron Saint of: Catholic Foreign Missions 🙏 Canonized: March 25, 1622 (with St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Teresa of Ávila, and St. Isidore) 00:00 – Gospel Reading: “These Signs Shall Follow Them That Believe” 00:40 – How God Works Miracles Through Faith, Sacraments, and Saints 01:15 – Introducing St. Francis Xavier’s Missionary Life 01:35 – The Paradox of Humility and Power in Holiness 02:03 – Xavier’s Personal Struggles & Psychological Trials 03:20 – His Deep Humility and the Weight of Discouragement 03:54 – Immense Language Barriers & Missionary Challenges 04:36 – Gift of Tongues: When and How It Occurred 05:28 – Canonized Miracles: Overview of Approved Accounts 05:34 – Ecstasies and Levitation During Holy Mass 06:06 – Divine Protection and the Mysterious Heavenly Companion 06:41 – Raising the Dead: The Tomb Miracle 07:10 – Healing Miracles and Heroic Acts of Charity 08:17 – Additional Miracles Across India and Japan 09:02 – The Miraculous Boat Returned at Sea 09:21 – Reflection: Our Modern Lack of Faith 09:35 – Xavier’s Final Days and Holy Death 10:26 – Burial, Miraculous Preservation & Veneration 11:05 – Final Honors: Patron of Missions & Canonization #StFrancisXavier #CatholicHomily #CatholicSaints #MiraclesOfTheSaints #CatholicSermon #CatholicFaith #TraditionalCatholic #MissionarySaints #CatholicChurch #SaintOfTheDay #FeastDay #JesuitSaints For more please go to http://www.reginaprophetarum.org & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
