1683 Saint Francis de Sales
Catholic MYSTICISM Bible Italian Venice Woodcuts
“Be who you are and be that well.”
― Francis de Sales
Francis de Sales was a 16th-century
Catholic bishop from Geneva and was a voice of reason during the unrest caused
by the Protestant Reformation. Many of his treaties were highly influential,
particularly to those studying Mysticism. He and his writings were popular in
both Protestant and Catholic circles, much in part to his works serving as
guides to moral living and spiritual devotion, rather than focusing on
religious doctrine. In his most famous work ‘Devout Life’, De
Sales states,
“My purpose is to instruct those who live in
town, within families, or at court, and are obliged to live an ordinary life as
to outward appearances.”
‘Epistres Spirituels’ was one of Sales
main treatises on spiritual direction and mysticism.
