Walk very simply…
Walk very simply along the way our Lord shows you and don’t worry.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Do not become captive…
Do not allow your heavenly spirit to become captive to earthly things.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Understanding is a…
Understanding is a special enlightenment that enables us to see and penetrate the beauty and perfection of the mysteries of faith. We may listen to sermons, we may read widely; yet we can remain ignorant of these divine mysteries if we lack the gift of understanding.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Hunger and thirst…
We might possibly reach a saturation point when it comes to our quest for wealth and honors, but when it comes to loving God, how can we ever say, ‘I have enough?’ No limits can ever be set to our hunger and thirst for Him.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Love God…
Don’t be afraid of what God has in store for you – love God very much for He wants to do you a great deal of good.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Love and desire God…
We don’t love our parents because they belong to us; we love them because we belong to them. It is thus that we love and desire God: not that He may become our good, but because He is our good; not that He may become ours but because we are His. It is not as though He exists for us: we exist for Him.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
