Salesian Literature

SERMONS ON OUR LADY

Here St. Francis de Sales shows how prayer is the key to all holiness.  In simple words and colourful imagery he explains the profoundest secrets of sanctity. He often quotes the words of Sacred Scripture (especially the Song of Songs), pointing out their hidden meaning as applied to the value and practice of prayer.  At times he employs such graphic examples as birds, archery, honey, grasshoppers and wine; as the reader encounters these picturesque images, he will grasp some of the sublimest truths of doctrine and holiness ever expressed.
