Salesian Literature

The greatest enlightenment which the “Spiritual Conferences” bring to us, I believe, is the revelation that all over the world today there are the fires glowing and the flames leaping up because all over the world there are the hidden lives, the devout lives, the humble, ordinary lives, consecrated in love and service of God and human beings, who generate and radiate the light and power to draw all to Christ and to renew the face of the earth. That, I believe, is the message that Saint Francis gives to his religious and to all of us in inviting us to follow LOVE’S GENTLE PERSUASION.
