We honor St. France de Sales today, the Bishop of Geneva during the tumultuous years of the Reformation.
Besides responding pastorally to the challenges posed by the reformers, he is also known for his practical advice on how to life a good, solid, Christian life. His INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVOUT LIFE is still relevant today and makes the spiritual life "doable" for everyone. His advice is for ordinary people who live and work in this world with their feet very much on the ground. When we go about our daily tasks with love and conscious of God's presence, we make them holy and give praise and honor to God just by doing the best we can to carry them out. Let this day be spiced with a large dose of love and we will experience a difference within ourselves and in those whose lives intersect with ours.
