At age 7, young Guido was drawn to visit a large crucifix of Christ in a small chapel across from his school. He formed a relation this way with the person of Christ, as he later stated, "He looked at me and said many things to me! ... it is a miraculous crucifix: I owe my vocation to it." As a priest, and later as bishop, he worked out this calling, founding the Xaverian Missionaries on the feast of St. Francis Xavier, Dec. 3, 1895. Struggling with difficulties getting the foundation on its feet, and the challenge of a lifetime of poor health, he was a man of wisdom, insight and peace.
