Themes include: Pursuing a devout life whole-heartedly Incorporating prayer and sacraments into a busy schedule Growing in virtue Battling wisely against temptation Making spiritual progress through daily, monthly, and yearly exercises Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or are more advanced in the spiritual life, you’ll be able to apply this timeless wisdom immediately. Let St. Francis de Sales illumine the path to holiness and strengthen your desire to walk that road with the Lord. St. Francis de Sales (1567–1622) was the Bishop of Geneva and a renowned spiritual director. Preaching during the Counter-Reformation, he is estimated to have converted 70,000 Calvinists in his short lifetime. He was a fervent proponent of the universal call to holiness and spent much of his time guiding lay people on the road to sanctity. Declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1877, St. Francis is still helping to form saints through his many writings, of which Introduction to the Devout Life is the most famous.

Download or read book The Gift of Confession written by Michael De Stoop and published by Gracewing Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best way to help people to appreciate this Sacrament is to elucidate the many benefits we receive from it. This book focuses on 25 striking things that Confession affords. It demonstrates that Confession gives us much more than it takes away! Taking 'negative' things (sin) away is one thing for whoch this Sacrament is well known, but how many people think of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in terms of the 'positive' things it provides for us? This positive approach is a welcome alternative to viewing this Sacrament simply in relation to sin. It is informative and entertaining as it is illustrated with interesting analogies, true stories, Church teaching, quotations from the saints and answers to popular questions. "This book will touch the hearts and enlighten the minds of many saints and sinners, teachers and witnesses" George Cardinal Pell, Archbishop of Sydney. Fr Michael de Stoop is Director of Vocations, Sydney, Australia.
