The meditations of St. Francis of Sales on the loving nature of God
and the Holy Spirit contain abundant spiritual insight - this
edition contains all twelve of his books, complete and unabridged
with annotations. A superb compendium of thoughts which examine the
multi-faceted nature of holiness in the Christian religion, the
Treatise on the Love of God is lauded for its immense expressions
of emotional and spiritual depth. The supreme will of God, acting
in myriad ways, is shown to be the origination of all love on the
Earth. The author discusses topics such as God's influence over his
creations, the manner in which men often shun or repulse the love
of God, and how such love - when accepted - can progress a living
soul's fulfillment. Following the lessons of God will result in
benevolence, yet such a following requires humbleness: we must
concede to God being the source of all that is good, loving and
worthy in the universe.

those living a spiritual life, and the hidden spiritual meanings of
the events of Our Lord's Passion.
How to do God's will joyfully. . . regardless of your
circumstances. St. Francis's practical, sensitive answers to the

This masterpiece of Christian literature by a sixteenth-century
priest explains how to live a holy life in the secular world. Drawn
from the letters of St. Francis de Sales, it presents clear and
direct advice about praying, resisting temptation, and maintaining
devotion to God.
A key figure in France's Counter Reformation, St. Francis de Sales
(1567-1622) served as Bishop of Geneva and was canonized in 1665.
The popularity of his prolific writings on spirituality led to his
nomination as the patron saint of authors and journalists. Today's
readers feel a special affinity for St. Francis, whose suggestions
for living a truly Christian life don't involve withdrawal from the
world. In this enduring spiritual guide, his remarkably modern
advice appears in the form of letters. The saint's frank and
practical counsel ranges from embracing meditations that strengthen
the resolve to maintain a virtuous existence to performing daily
exercises that renew the soul.
St. Francis de Sales is widely regarded as one of the greatest
spiritual advisors in the history of the Church, and we have drawn
from his letters the wisest advice for those prepared to take the
next step on their spiritual journey.
If your life seems to make no sense or if you don't know which path to take, St. Francis de Sales will console and inform you. He'll show you what God's will is and how He reveals it -- yes, even to you, and even in the seemingly random events of your life. No matter what you're going through, you'll see why you should love and trust in God's will -- and long for its fulfillment. Best of all, you'll learn a sure method for discovering God's will in any situation -- today!
Within this book are a multitude of precious insights on the
Blessed Virgin Mary as perfect exemplar of the Christian virtues.
These 13 sermons, preached by that great yet gentle Doctor of the
Church, St. Francis de Sales, were remembered and carefully written
down by the Visitation Nuns to whom he spoke. The many beautiful
Catholic insights in these sermons give a new and fresh perspective
on the Christian virtues, leading the soul to a renewed resolution
to follow Our Lady's example in the pursuit of that holiness which
binds the Christian ever closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
