Selfless
is the story of Sister Theophane, a passionate, driven nun dedicated to serving
the poor around the world.
Discover the inspiring story of how a precocious young girl from upstate New
York became a servant and apostle to the poor in the jungle missions of Papua
New Guinea, and, eventually, a prisoner of the Japanese in World War II.
Selfless: The Story of Sr. Theophane's Missionary Life in the Jungles of Papua
New Guinea was written in 1946 by a fellow sister of the Holy Spirit Missionary
Sisters, but it is just now being published for the first time.
Long held in anonymity, Sr. Theophane's amazing life of service and apostolic
zeal is now finally being revealed to the world. Her story is a breathtaking
tale that will inspire a new generation of Catholics to heed the call of service
to Christ and others.
In Consoling Thoughts on Sickness and Death, St. Francis de Sales, the beloved Doctor of the Church, teaches how to grow closer to God through suffering well the most bitter trials.
The bed of sickness is an altar of sacrifice, writes the saint in this treasure of spirituality. He explains what prayers are suitable for the sick, how to persevere in patience, and even how to overcome an excessive fear of death. Most importantly, St. Francis de Sales teaches about abandonment to God's will in both life and death, drawing from his memories of the deaths of his own mother and sister.
Readers of Consoling Thoughts on Sickness and Death 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.
