Saint Francis Xavier, Presbyter, December 3

On that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book;
And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see.
The lowly will ever find joy in the LORD, and the poor rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
For the tyrant will be no more and the arrogant will have gone
. (Is 29:17-24)

The deaf hear, the blind see, the poor have good news proclaimed to them . . . sounds like Advent! Saint Francis Xavier was one of the companions of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He traveled all the way to Asia to bring the good news.
