Introduction To A Devout Life 978-1-937913-75-5
This abridged and adapted edition of the classic work by Saint Francis de Sales, which is written in contemporary English, treats all of the most relevant subjects in his comprehensive spiritual masterpiece. Known as the Apostle of Love, he reaches out to all people through this concise volume, showing that devotion is available to everyone in every walk of life and occupation.
St. Francis de Sales emphasizes that true devotion is not a one-size-fits-all practice but must be adapted to each person's state in life. He encourages readers to cultivate a deep love for God through prayer, sacraments, and daily virtue. He stresses the importance of mental prayer, or meditation, as a way to reflect on God's presence and align one's actions with His will. The book also provides practical advice on resisting temptations, practicing humility, and maintaining inner peace amidst worldly distractions.
One of its key messages is that holiness is not about extraordinary acts but about faithfully carrying out one's duties with love and devotion. St. Francis de Sales teaches that one can find sanctity in ordinary life--whether as a parent, worker, or student--by offering daily tasks to God.
