For love is the life of the soul.
– St. Francis de Sales
Known for his gentle nature, St. Francis de Sales said he spent 20 years overcoming his bad temper. Although his parents wanted him to be a lawyer and he did take a seat in the Senate, he followed his calling and became a priest and, eventually, a bishop.
He wrote the Introduction to the Devout Life and A Treatise on the Love of God and many pamphlets. He has been named patron of the Catholic Press.
