Introduction to the Devout Life (St. Francis de Sales)

The latest spiritual work I've read Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. 

Wow.

It's an incredibly inspirational - and challenging - work. 

I look at my own spiritual life, and it is clearly not "devout". Certainly not in the way he outlines in the book. And, of course, he wrote the book not for monks or nuns; it's for people like me in the world.

As I read, I began to assess my own prayer life. I feel I fall way short. It offer much food for thought. 

Thank you, St. Francis de Sales! 

Pax et bonum
