Wisdom for spiritual practicality from the writings of
St. Francis de Sales to the laity...
St. Francis de Sales to the laity...

| St. Francis, pray for us! |
"Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. If you find that you have wandered away from the shelter of God, lead your heart to Him quietly and simply."
"There is nothing small in the service of God."
"While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things."
"Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue."
"Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy, then a full hour is needed."
"Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly."
"When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time."
God bless you,
Helene 💞
