About the Author
St. Francis de Sales, 1567-1622, was a priest from Annecy in the independent Duchy of Savoy, Bishop of Geneva, and founder of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary. Living two generations after the Protestant schism at the turn of the 16th century, he is celebrated for his asceticism, prolific writing, tireless preaching, and teaching, and winning tens of thousands back to the one true Faith. In 1877, Pope Pius IX declared him Doctor of the Church, and dubbed him “Doctor of Charity.”
