In Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life St. Francis de Sales, beloved Doctor of the Church, gives us treasured insight from the master of spiritual direction. How can the soul persevere in piety in the midst of affliction? How should we conduct ourselves when suffering interior trials? How can we profit from our own faults? St. Francis de Sales explains all this and more.
In
this masterful collection, St. Francis speaks to every soul on the riches to
be gained from suffering trials and temptations, the advantages we can draw
from our own defects, and how to choose and carry the best crosses. Also included
are uplifting passages on suffering sadness, or what we would now call depression.
Readers of Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life will experience
firsthand why St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) is known to history as the Gentle
Saint. St. Francis was Bishop of Geneva and a tireless preacher, who yet made
time to correspond with numerous souls who wrote him for his insight and guidance.
His Consoling Thoughts are compiled from these letters as well as from his other
spiritual works.
About
The Author
St. Francis de Sales was born in 1567 to Francois and Francoise de Boisy in
what is currently Haute-Savoie, France. His father sent him to a good school
when he was young, and he received spiritual formation from the Jesuits. After
a disturbing spiritual fear of being condemned, he eventually resolved his problem
and decided to dedicate his life to God in 1587. He became a doctor of law at
the age of 24 at the Jesuit College of Clermont, Paris, and was ordained a priest
by Bishop Claude de Granier and stationed in Geneva in 1593. He became bishop
of Geneva in 1602.
Francis de Sales is the author of various collections of sermons on Mary, Lent,
prayer and Christmastide, as well as a work entitled Set Your Heart Free, edited
by John Kirvan. He was known as a spiritually understanding man as well as a
friend of the poor. Though known for his great intellect and theological wisdom,
he spoke with simplicity and earnestness, so that all could understand. An Introduction
to the Devout Life , his best-loved work, is based on notes he wrote for a cousin
for marriage, stressing that sanctity is possible in everyday life. He died
in 1622 on December 28, and was canonized by Pope Alexander VII in 1665. His
feast is celebrated on January 24.
