Saint Francis Xavier, Missionary to the Far East

God of all nations: Raise up, we beseech thee, in this and every  land, evangelists and heralds of thy kingdom, that like thy servant Francis Xavier we may proclaim the unsearchable riches of our Saviour Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
