Sanctity is for everyone. This truth was proclaimed for our times by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), especially in its dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium.  The Fifth Chapter of this document is entitled, “The Universal Call to Holiness.”

 

Its presentation is very close to that of St. Francis de Sales. His vision is totally one with that of the Second Vatican Council and is articulated in practically the same language.  Several citations from both will suffice to show this.

 

This book is the fruit of both prayer and life, of both reflection and experience.  It is simply an invitation to the reader to listen to a message and to discover a way, accompanied by a friend, St. Francis de Sales.
