Preaching during the Counter-Reformation, he is estimated to have converted 70,000 Calvinists in his short lifetime. He was a fervent proponent of the universal call to holiness and spent much of his time guiding lay people on the road to sanctity. Declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1877, St. Francis is still helping to form saints through his many writings, of which "Introduction to the Devout Life" is the most famous.
Three centuries ago, people flocked to St. Francis de Sales, seeking his help for their problems. St. Francis spent hours ministering to them face-to-face and wrote over 20,000 letters. From these letters to persons in all walks of life, we've selected the ones that will be most helpful to you today.
Each hand-written response to someone like you seeking help for an actual problem. You'll be consoled by warmth, the wisdom, and the holy sympathy you'll find in these pages, as the love of this great saint reaches out to us across the centuries. Whatever you circumstances may be, there's wisdom here to make your life holier... and happier.
