Saint Francis de Sales
(August 21, 1567 – December 28, 1622)
He was Bishop of Geneva and
is a Roman Catholic saint. He worked to convert Protestants back to Catholicism, and was an accom-plished preacher. He is
best known also for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual for-mation, particularly Introduction
to the Devout Life. His writings on the perfections of the Heart of Mary as the model of love for God influenced
St. Jean Eudes to develop the joint devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Roman Catholic Church today celebrates St.
Francis de Sales' feast on January 24, the day of his burial in Annecy, France in the year 1624. He is known as a great
Confessor and a Doctor of the Church.
Saint Francis de Sales, pray for us! Amen. |
