Francis Xavier Seelos was born into a world very different from the New Orleans streets where he died ministering to the sick.<\/p>\n

But his ability to forgo all national prejudice freed him to see in everyone not a nationality but an icon of Christ.<\/p>\n

This is a lesson he learned from the Gospel \u2014 but it is also at the heart of the Vincentian charism that inspired St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. \u201cIt is in the humble, poor, and helpless He delights to number His greatest mercies so that He may set them as marks to encourage poor sinners,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When Father Seelos came to America as a missionary, he was a long way from home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in 1819 Bavaria, Francis Seelos grew up in a family of 12 children where he made no bones about what he wanted to be when he grew up, as he played Mass and prayed extra rosaries by himself. He wanted to be a priest, and not just any priest.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeday, I will become a second Francis Xavier,\u201d he is reported to have said.<\/p>\n

He earned high marks in school in the kingdom of Bavaria, but his family was not wealthy. To send Francis to secondary school his father had to save what he could from his weaving business and small farm. At school he had to rely on the charity of others many miles from home for his necessities. To make matters worse, Fr. Seelos had the habit of giving away much of the money that came his way.<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t help it. To him, the poor were Christ. \u201cI cannot stand to see them go without when I have something to share,\u201d he wrote home.<\/p>\n

After studying many of the prerequisites, Francis finally entered the diocesan seminary in 1842 when he was 23.\u00a0 He made an impression on all he met. When he left his homeland, a daily newspaper in Bavaria reported, \u201cThis morning there departed from the diocesan seminary here one of its most worthy members, Francis Xavier Seelos.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

His departure had been sudden. Until three weeks prior, only his father knew of his intention to leave for the United States. He later confided to his brother that the Blessed Virgin Mary had appeared to him, urging him to leave his homeland and follow a missionary path in the new world.<\/p>\n

He was soon in New York preparing to minister to German-speaking immigrants. When he was ordained a Redemptorist priest, Fr. Seelos was assigned to serve with St. John Neumann, another immigrant Catholic who was leading a parish in Pittsburgh, PA.<\/p>\n

Fr. Seelos had much to contend with \u2014 but culture shock was the worst thing he faced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He complained in a letter home about \u201cThe bedbugs, insects, the religious sects, the language and so many things more.\u201d But he also objected to \u201cthe vulgar spirit of speculation, business, money, the coldness and dryness of the people \u2014 nowhere a cross or a church of pilgrimage \u2014 no happy faces, no songs, no singing, everything dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

He made the most of it, though, and counted the blessings: plenty of food, inexpensive clothing, efficient heating systems and 24-hour running water. He became a popular confessor, hearing all comers \u2014 whether they were new German or French immigrants or Americans speaking English.<\/p>\n

He was known for his simple preaching style, which made theological concepts graspable by working-class Catholics and their children, and he gradually grew to love his American parishioners. He began to lead parish missions throughout the Midwest and New England. In true Redemptorist style \u2014 the order was founded by St. Alphonsus Liguori, one of the Church\u2019s great moral theologians \u2014 he would bring his congregations to a knowledge of their own sinfulness and then invite them to confession.<\/p>\n

He would challenge people to think of a sin they believed was too great for God\u2019s mercy \u2014 and then bring it to confession. \u201cNone of the damned was ever lost because his sin was too great, but because his trust was too small,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He clearly saw that people\u2019s spiritual needs were even greater than their material needs. He slept next to the door of his room in his clothes so that he could be awakened at night and go at a moment\u2019s notice to serve someone in need.<\/p>\n

One popular story says that he was called to the bedside of a prostitute who was dying in a brothel. He didn\u2019t hesitate, even though he knew that such an action in that time and place would be widely misunderstood and eagerly shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet them talk,\u201d he said. \u201cI saved a soul!\u201d<\/p>\n

The lessons of St. Francis Xavier Seelos\u2019s life were central to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton\u2019s as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their lives barely overlapped \u2014 Fr. Seelo was 2 years old when Mother Seton died. But they shared the same Gospel-rooted vision: to see Christ in every person, regardless of race, nationality or culture.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth wrote a letter to her son William in 1815 as he prepared to travel with the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cI beg you so much not to give way to national prejudices, but to allow for many customs and manners you will see. Why should not others have their peculiarities as well as we have ours?\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

To Mother Seton, we are all citizens of heaven \u2014”foreign\u201d to each other in this world, but at home together in the Father\u2019s kingdom. \u201cMy full confidence is that whatever changing events you may pass through you will act as a Man and a Christian and will keep in view our true Home and eternal reunion,\u201d she wrote to William. \u201cThat Confidence is even extraordinary since you are so young and may have so many trials to pass through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Father Seelos lived out precisely the kind of Christian witness she described. He overcame the pull of familiar comforts and natural affections to embrace a supernatural calling. He served wherever God sent him, and died not only far from his Bavarian homeland, but a long way from the Pennsylvania headquarters of his religious order.<\/p>\n

In 1866, after a failed stint teaching in seminary, he was appointed pastor of St. Mary of the Assumption Parish in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be there one year and then I will die of yellow fever,\u201d he told a School Sister of Notre Dame.<\/p>\n

That is exactly what happened. He died at age 48 and returned home at last.<\/p>\n
