A Down-to-earth Spirituality for everyone





If there is one message in particular that Francis de Sales preached to Christians of his day, it is this:

All are called to holiness.



All are called – not just monks, cloistered nuns and a few spiritual athletes who are capable of rigorous fasts, long vigils and harsh austerities. No, holiness is not restricted to these few who are privileged with extraordinary physical, intellectual and moral capacities.



It is everyone’s concern, everyone’s destiny.



The Second Vatican Council validated the one message that Francis de Sales preached to Christians of his day: All are called to holiness. He brings the same message to Christians of all times, especially to those concerned about their spiritual welfare.
