St. Francis Borgia, memorial.
Saint Francis Borgia, Priest (Memorial)

Francis Borgia (1510-1572) was born in Valencia, Spain. He was trained for life at court, and married in 1529. In May 1539, he was assigned to verify the corpse of the Empress Isabella, who had died unexpectedly fifteen days earlier. He was shocked to see the beautiful face disfigured beyond recognition. This experience was the turning point of his life. After his wife’s death in 1546, he joined the Society of Jesus. In 1565 he was elected as the third Superior General of the Society of Jesus. He died in 1572, in Rome.
