Particular Expressions of the 'Love Of God' in the Life of St. Francis de Sales
In this short reflection paper, I want to pin down some particular expressions of the love of God in the life of St. Francis de Sales. I am most touched by his 'love of God' and its expressions in his life and I consider it as the key to what he is, what he has become today in the church and all that he has done in his life. I want to develop the points given below as expressions of Francis' 'love of God'.
The main ideas that I want to present are:
- His vocation
- its personal significance
- its significance for formation ministry
- His interior life
- its personal significance
- its significance for formation ministry
- His invitation to holiness
- its personal significance
- its significance for formation ministry
