St. Francis Xavier, S.J. was born Francisco de Jassu y Javier, on April 7, 1506, at the family castle in Navarre, sapin, the fifth and yougest child of Juan de Jassu and Maria de Azpilcueta. His early education was at home, and in September 1525, at age nineteen, he set out for Paris, where he began university studies. He matriculated at the College of Sainte-Barbe and his roommate was the young Savoyard, Peter Favre. Both were more interested in their degress than in their futures, but all this changed when the Basque Ignatius of Loyola moved in with them in September 1529. It was not long before Ignatius won Peter over to his way of thinking - to become a priest and work for the salvation of souls - but Francis proved more difficult. Francis earned his licentiate degree in the spring of 1530 and began explaining Aristotle at the College of Dormans-Beauvais, while he continued to reside at Saite-Barbe. It was only when Peter went to visit his family in 1533 that Igatius, now alone with Francis, was able to break down his friend's resistance. Perhaps if Ignatius had brought Francis these cookies he would have won him over more quickly.
