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.

More quotes by Saint Francis de Sales
Trouble that is easily recognized is half-cured.
Saint Francis de Sales
The highest point of humility consists in not merely acknowledging one's abjection, but in taking pleasure therein, not from any want of breadth or courage, but to give the more glory to God's Divine Majesty, and to esteem one's neighbour more highly than one's self.
Saint Francis de Sales
A dance is the devil's procession, and he that entereth into a dance, entereth into his possession.
Saint Francis de Sales
Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
Be not miserable about what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father, who cares for you today, will care for you tomorrow.
Saint Francis de Sales
In everything, love simplicity.
Saint Francis de Sales
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Saint Francis de Sales
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
Consider all the past as nothing, and say, like David: Now I begin to love my God.
Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Francis de Sales
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
I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.
Saint Francis de Sales
The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other it is a perpetual exercise in mortification.
Saint Francis de Sales
Faith fills a man with love for the beauty of its truth, with faith in the truth of its beauty
Saint Francis de Sales
Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.
Saint Francis de Sales
While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall, who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice.
Saint Francis de Sales
