St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Bishop, Founder of the Salesians, Doctor of the Church, Patron of Writers and the Catholic Press--this is an extraordinary saint who authored two very important works that are drawn from throughout this book. (Introduction to the Devout Life and Treatise on the Love of God) He wrote specifically for lay people and taught many under his direction to become holy. Many of his holy counsels pertain to today's modern and busy world as well.
In Consoling Thoughts on God and Providence, St. Francis de Sales, beloved Doctor of the Church, speaks of how God wants only good for us, and why we should have great confidence in His merciful love. This treasure of spirituality beautifully explains God's love for the sinner, how great His joy is upon the return of just one lost sheep, and how God's mercy extends even towards the damned. St. Francis encourages us to conform ourselves to God's will, and teaches us to abandon ourselves to the Lord who so desires our hearts. Readers of Consoling Thoughts on God and Providence will experience firsthand why St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) is known to history as the Gentle Saint. St. Francis was Bishop of Geneva and a tireless preacher, who yet made time to correspond with numerous souls who wrote him for his insight and guidance. His Consoling Thoughts are compiled from these letters as well as from his other spiritual works.
