Blog Post 1/03/2023 - Apostolic Letter Celebrating the 400th Anniversary of the death of St. Francis de Sales

 


Pope Francis’ apostolic letter commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death of St. Francis de Sales offers us practical encouragement: “To live in the midst of the secular city while nurturing the interior life, to combine the desire for perfection with every state of life, and to discover an interior peace that does not separate us from the world but teaches us how to live in it and to appreciate it, but also to maintain a proper detachment from it. That was the aim of Francis de Sales, and it remains a valuable lesson for men and women in our own time.”


The entire apostolic letter can be found here and reading it is an excellent way to strengthen our spiritual foundation for 2023: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/20221228-totum-amoris-est.html

 

 

May God Be Praised.
