Product description:

St. Francis de Sales, famous Doctor of the Church, is one of the four or five greatest masters of the spiritual life - a wise, learned and gentle teacher for all. In these 12 sermons, preached to the Visitation nuns in Lent of 1622 and published now for the first time in English, St. Francis covers most of the central teachings of the Christian life, including fasting, eternal happiness, the danger of losing one's soul, the proper way to hear the word of God, a living faith vs. a dead or dying faith, love of neighbor, temptation and how to resist it, the qualities of prayer, the Christian attitude toward death, proper conduct in illness, humility and obedience, God's special providence toward those living a spiritual life, and the hidden spiritual meanings of the events of Our Lord's Passion.
