Counsels of St. Francis de Sales

Live + Jesus!

"Imperfections must die with us, a little each day. Dear imperfections, they force us to acknowledge our misery, give us practice in humility, selflessness, patience, and watchfulness; yet, notwithstanding, God looks at the preparation of our heart and sees that it is perfect."

"Let us stay at our Lord's feet and remember 'little peddler-little pack' by practicing the ordinary virtues which are better suited to walking downhill than in climbing: patience, forbearance toward our neighbor, service of others, humility, gentleness of heart, affability, tolerance of our own imperfections."




St. Francis de Sales by Bro. Benedict Schmitz, OSFS, Ingolstadt, Germany

"Stay close to God. The gentleness of His shadow is more healthy than the brightness of the sun."

"Let us lay our hearts to rest in the sweet and loving providence of the Lord; He warmly will shelter us under His holy protection."
