About this listen

Dive into the profound spiritual insights of Francis de Sales (1567-1622), the Bishop of Geneva renowned for his transformative guidance on the journey to God. His timeless works, Introduction to the Devout Life (1609) and Of the Love of God (1616), serve as essential companions for seekers of divine love and spiritual fulfillment. In Introduction to the Devout Life, Francis offers practical wisdom for individuals of all walks of life, showing how to cultivate a pious and devoted existence. Meanwhile, Of the Love of God delves deeper, providing a rich manual for those already on their spiritual path and under the guidance of a spiritual director. This work explores the essence of divine love, the ways love can flourish or wane, and how prayer and meditation can lead to a profound union with God. With keen insights on virtues and practical advice for spiritual growth, Francis de Sales teachings have earned him the title of Doctor of the Catholic Church, as proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in 1877. Join us as we explore the depths of love and devotion in this enlightening podcast.
