SJ Sam Z. Conedera
· 2021
Abstract
Francis Xavier (1506-1552), were supposed to go to India.Their mission came in response to a request by King John III of Portugal (1502-1557), who had asked Ignatius for several Jesuits to convert the peoples in his colonial empire.Ignatius's initial choices did not pan out.Bobadilla fell seriously ill, so Ignatius turned to his dear friend Xavier, who is said to have replied with a free and simple, "Here I am."But when Xavier and Rodrigues arrived at the royal court, they impressed the king so much that he asked Rodrigues to remain and work in Portugal instead.These unexpected developments raise interesting questions.
