Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.

Saint Francis de Sales
What son would not bring his mother back to life and would not bring her into paradise after her death if he could?
