The Manna of the Soul Meditations for Each Day of the Year By Paolo Segneri:

Consider thirdly, that St. Francis Xavier was an arrow
swift in flight. No sooner did he hear the will of God declared
to him by the mouth of his Father, St. Ignatius, than taking
with him only a cassock, a Bible, and a breviary, so as to be

from Lisbon to Goa, from Goa to the Moluccas, and from the
Moluccas to Melinda, Malabar, Malacca, and many other
unknown nations of India and Japan ; so that in ten years he
had travelled more than a hundred thousand miles, that is to
say, a distance equal to four times round the whole earth.
Thinkest thou, then, that if he could do so much in ten years,
he could have wasted many hours, as thou dost, in idle talk,
in sleep, in pleasure, or idleness? Oh, how unlike such an
arrow art thou, who clingest so closely to thy own comforts as
to lack the courage to leave thy country for the sake of serving
God, or even to quit some particular city, or community, or
