As we remember St. Francis Xavier today, a verse from today's Gospel fittingly applies to him,
St. Francis and ALL who aspire to live a holy life: "Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give." (Mt 10: 8). These and others received the gift of God's love along with the gift to love him in return with their whole heart and strength. It was this love that enabled them to give so totally of themselves. They did not count the cost and the consequences of their gift are still being felt today.
God wants to give us the gift of his love; may we accept it and respond with generous hearts ready to do whatver God wants, without counting the cost.
