St. Francis Xavier, S.J.
It's his feast day today. There's information on him here . It's not absolutely verifiable, but he is quite probable that he knew St. Philip Neri. It is certain that St. Philip and St. Ignatius Loyola were friends. It is also true that all three of them,along with St. Teresa of Avila and St. Isidore the Farmer, were canonized at the same ceremony on March 22, 1622.
Dear Lord, if a tenth of the Catholics in the world could but have the zeal of that magnificent quintet, what could we not accomplish for the love of God and His Kingdom ?
