Synopsis

Almost all those who have written concerning the devout life have had chiefly in view persons who have altogether quitted the world; or at any rate they have taught a manner of devotion which would lead to such total retirement. But my object is to teach those who are living in their own households, and whose calling obliges them to a social life, so far as externals are concerned. And so I have shown them that a true steadfast soul may live in the world untainted by worldly breath, finding a well-spring of holy piety amid the bitter waves of society, and hovering amid the flames of earthly lusts without singeing the wings of its devout life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622) was a French Catholic bishop, theologian, preacher, and spiritual writer whose works became foundational texts of Christian devotional literature. Serving as Bishop of Geneva during the Counter-Reformation, Francis became renowned for his gentleness, wisdom, eloquence, and compassionate pastoral approach.His writings-including Introduction to the Devout Life and Treatise on the Love of God-emphasised practical spirituality, humility, patience, and the possibility of pursuing holiness within ordinary daily life. Canonised in 1665 and later declared a Doctor of the Church, Francis de Sales remains one of the most influential figures in Catholic spirituality and Christian devotional thought.
