Receiving God’s inspirations

Introduction to the Devout Life, 2:18. By inspirations we understand all the interior attractions, movements, consciousness of wrong done ad regrets for wrong doing, enlightenments and insights. These God produces in us.

Guided by the Spirit

Corrigan, Francois. The Spirituality of St. Francis de Sales: A Way of Life. [On a journey available to all]: By marching to the individual’s rhythm, Francis follows God’s pace in each heart and the rhythm of the Holy Spirit in each person’s life. According to Jane de Chantal, who knew him so well, Francis “was docile to God’s Spirit which was at work in him and quickly but gently formed a true picture of the souls he directed.”
