More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales

Image
A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
For every great temptation there will be many small ones. Wolves and bears are more dangerous than flies, but we are bothered most by flies.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
By giving yourself to God, You not only receive Himself in exchange, but eternal life as well.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
When the bee has gathered the dew of heaven and the earth's sweetest nectar from the flowers, it turns it into honey, then hastens to its hive. In the same way, the priest, having taken from the altar the Son of God (who is as the dew from heaven, and true son of Mary, flower of our humanity), gives him to you as delicious food.

Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.

There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Doing little things with a strong desire to please God makes them really great.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
In so far as divine love beautifies our souls. And makes us pleasing to His divine Majesty, it is called grace in so far as it gives us strength to do good, it is called charity but when it reaches such a degree of perfection, that it makes us not only do the good, but do so carefully, frequently and readily, then it is called devotion.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
He prays well who is so absorbed with God that he does not know he is praying.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
The Lord delights in every little step you take.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can truly say Lord I have no other will than Thine it is truly lost in God and united to Him.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Since God often sends us inspirations by means of His angels, we should frequently return our aspirations to him by means of the same messengers.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Many would be willing to have afflictions provided that they not be inconvenienced by them.
