Saint Francis de Sales
Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.
Saint Francis de Sales
In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.
Saint Francis de Sales
Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
True humility scarcely ever utters words of humility.
Saint Francis de Sales
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
Saint Francis de Sales
Those who commit these types of scandals are guility of the spiritual equivalent of murder, but I, here among you to prevent something far worst for you. While those who give scandal are guilty of the spiritual equivalent of murder, those who take scandal- who allow scandals to destroy faith- are guilty of spiritual suicide.
Saint Francis de Sales
Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.
Saint Francis de Sales
One rarely does well what one rarely does.
Saint Francis de Sales
