Salesian Literature

St. Francis de Sales

by Michael Müller

​

​

St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), a celebrated author of spiritual classics, Doctor of the Church and director of souls, inspires every one hungering after perfection. His extensive knowledge of theology, philosophy, law and literature equipped him suitably to convey his message, uniquely Salesian and thoroughly Christian. It brims over above all with hope, humanness optimism: all that the modern world is passionately after.

 

Dr. Müller, after long study and research succeeded in bringing out this book, one of the most systematic and comprehensive works on the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales. Based on the original texts of St. Francis de Sales and the best available sources, he expounds the Salesian doctrine, that Christian perfection consists in pure love and union with God. The perennial and universal value of St, Francis' maxim : "Let everything you do be done in love" is very well highlighted. Scholarly in nature and rich in content, the present work is to be  recommended to theologians, spiritual directors, retreat preachers and all interested in Salesian Spirituality.
